Before “The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension cautioned against describing the notebooks as a manifesto.”
After “Drew Evans, superintendent of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, cautioned against describing the notebooks as a manifesto: 'I want to clarify for everybody, this is not a document … that would be like a traditional manifesto.'”
Why it was flagged
No cited source supports this claim about a BCA statement.
What was done
Sourced and attributed to the named official. FOX 9's 16 June 2025 report quotes BCA superintendent Drew Evans directly.

Before “Separate state charges, including first-degree murder, remained pending as of August 2026.”
After “A Hennepin County grand jury separately indicted Boelter in August 2025 on two counts of first-degree murder, four counts of attempted murder, impersonating a police officer and felony animal cruelty; that state prosecution remained pending after the federal sentencing.”
Why it was flagged
None of the four cited sources address state-level charges.
What was done
Sourced and made specific. MPR News (Matt Sepic, 3 Aug 2026) reports the August 2025 Hennepin County grand jury indictment and its counts.

Before “people: - title: "Tim Walz" slug: "tim-walz"”
After “Governor Tim Walz said the same day that 'we are not a country that settles our differences at gunpoint,' and publicly described the shootings as politically motivated.”
Why it was flagged
Walz is tagged in frontmatter but never mentioned in the text, with no documented connection.
What was done
Connection documented and added to the body. The governor's own press release of 14 June 2025 is cited; the frontmatter reference is now earned rather than removed.
