Report: Omar Mateen's Wife Says Media Reports About Her are Lies
----------------------------------------------------------------

This comes as a federal grand jury is reportedly considering whether to
indict Omar Mateen's wife, Noor Salman, on criminal charges related to
the attack. Multiple news outlets, citing unnamed sources, have reported
Salman knew about the planned attack ahead of time and even drove Mateen
to the Pulse club one night. But other reporters have cast doubt on
these claims. Sam Husseini of the Institute for Public Accuracy reports
one of Noor Salman's close friends says Salman is saying that she knew
nothing of her husband's plans and never drove her husband to the club.
Husseini writes, "She is apparently telling people around her that
virtually everything you're hearing about her is a lie."
