US EditionHere’s what we know and don’t know about the thwarted potential terror attack in Michigan | News Channel 3-12
The FBI stopped a Halloween weekend terror attack in Michigan, but officials warn the announcement may hinder ongoing investigations and prosecutions.
- On Friday, FBI Director Kash Patel announced his agency thwarted an alleged terrorist attack planned for Halloween weekend in Michigan, while former U.S. attorney Barbara McQuade warned the premature announcement could let co-conspirators walk free.
- No charges have been filed, and experts warned public details could let would-be co-conspirators destroy evidence or flee, while officials said Patel's statements depart from standard practice and may hinder FBI agents on the ground.
- Ordinarily, the FBI had been on scene and Patel has drawn past scrutiny for comments referencing `Valhalla`, which experts said could jeopardize prosecutions.
- Immediate consequences include legal experts warning public disclosures can taint potential defendants' jury pools, while FBI personnel say Patel's announcement frustrated them and could jeopardize the investigation.
- Barbara McQuade, former U.S. attorney, said Saturday that discussing an active investigation publicly is frustrating, while observers note the Friday announcement timing raises evidence preservation and prosecution concerns.
