Officials blame outsiders for violence in Minnesota but contradict one another on who is responsible

Walz suggested that U.S. intelligence agencies were providing the state with information about who was behind the protests, implying that the National Security Agency, which monitors foreign governments and terrorist organizations, might be playing a role.
U.S. officials dismissed those claims, noting that, by law, the NSA does not monitor domestic political activities.
