"Pressed about his reaction in the Oval Office by New York Times reporters who had assembled to interview him, the president maintained that Good was at fault and had "run over" the agent who shot her. "I want to see nobody get shot," Trump told the journalists. "I want to see nobody screaming and trying to run over policemen either... That was a vicious situation that took place.""
""And then she ran him over. She didn't try to run him over. She ran him over... With all of it being said, no, I don't like that happening," Trump then ordered his aide Natalie Harp to bring a laptop over to the Resolute Desk so that the group could rewatch the clip together and observed, once it had finished: "It's a terrible scene I think it's horrible to watch. No, I hate to see it.""
Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three and US citizen, was shot dead behind the wheel of her car on a residential street following a confrontation with federal immigration officers. The president posted on social media blaming the victim, saying he had reviewed footage and claiming the woman driving the car ran over an ICE officer who had shot her in self-defense. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said he understood the victim was the only person hurt. In the Oval Office the president reiterated that Good was at fault, described the scene as vicious, and had aides replay the footage.
