Gary Peters of Michigan pressed Mullin over his comments about Pretti, who he called on Fox News &#8220;a deranged individual that came in to cause max damage.&#8221; Noem called him a &#8220;domestic terrorist.&#8221; Video from the scene and witness testimony <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/alex-pretti-shooting-contrast-official-accounts-videos\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">contradicts those claims.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Peters asked whether the American public should expect Mullin to make similarly &#8220;quick&#8221; comments as secretary.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Those words probably should have been retracted. I shouldn&#8217;t have said that,&#8221; Mullin said in response.<\/p>\n<p>When pressed further, Mullin said that he &#8220;responded immediately without the facts. That&#8217;s my fault, that won&#8217;t happen again as secretary.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mullin however stopped short of apologizing to Pretti&#8217;s family, citing an <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/doj-civil-rights-division-career-prosecutors-alex-pretti\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">ongoing investigation<\/a><\/span>. Multiple sources have told CBS News that the probe does not involve any federal prosecutors from the Department of Justice&#8217;s Civil Rights Division who specialize in excessive force cases.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I haven&#8217;t seen the investigation,&#8221; Mullin said. &#8220;We&#8217;ll let the investigation go through, and if I&#8217;m proven wrong, then I will, absolutely.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Later, when questioned by Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut about the shooting of <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/minnesota\/news\/ice-shooting-minneapolis-retired-agent-video-analysis\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Renee Good<\/a><\/span>, Mullin did not say whether he regretted saying that her shooting was &#8220;absolutely&#8221; justified in a CNN interview.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Senator, it&#8217;s very clear than an officer had to make a split decision in that case,&#8221; Mullin told Blumenthal.<\/p>\n<p>Mullin also added that an &#8220;investigation is going on.&#8221; Minnesota officials were cut out from accessing case material in a federal probe that focused on the case as an assault on a federal officer and not a civil rights issue. Several career prosecutors at the Department of Justice and the Minneapolis U.S. Attorney&#8217;s office disagreed with the angle of the investigation and <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/minnesota\/news\/federal-prosecutors-minnesota-resign-joe-thompson\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">resigned<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When Blumenthal asked Mullin if there is indeed an investigation going on, he replied &#8220;my understand is that there is. I will find out if I&#8217;m able to get confirmed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation  \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<section class=\"content__tags\">\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/minnesota\/news\/markwayne-mullin-alex-pretti-deranged-individual-regrets\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
