Death of Paul Wellstone
George Bush appointed his own officials Ellen Connors and Mark Rosenker to investigate the plane crash that killed Paul Wellstone. An FBI team left from the Twin Cities before the flight encountered any problems and arrived at the crash site in Eveleth, Minnesota before the FAA confirmed the crash. Even though the NTSB had jurisdiction over plane crashes, the FBI took over the investigation and quickly denied that the crash was a terrorist act. The NTSB canceled a public meeting it scheduled for citizens about the crash.[1]
