But that’s not all she did. The same day, the U.S. attorney general sent a three-page letter to Minnesota’s Democratic governor, sketching out three demands — what Bondi characterized as “common sense solutions” — that she asked Walz to obey.

Specifically, she directed Walz to (1) repeal Minnesota’s “sanctuary policies”; (2) disclose more information related to the state’s social insurance programs that became the subject of a fraud investigation; and (3) turn over the state’s voter registration records to the Trump administration.

The governor appeared unimpressed with the correspondence. “I would just give a pro tip to the attorney general: There’s 2 million documents in the Epstein files we’re still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those,” Walz said at a Sunday news conference.
