The Justice Department (DOJ) said May 28 that it’s conducting a “robust criminal investigation” into the circumstances surrounding the death of George Floyd and has made the probe a “top priority.”
The department had also assigned experienced prosecutors and FBI criminal investigators to determine whether former Minneapolis Police Department officers involved in Floyd’s death had violated federal law, U.S. Attorney Erica MacDonald and FBI Special Agent in Charge Rainer Drolshagen said in a joint statement.
