A federal grand jury has indicted Vance Luther Boelter, a 57-year-old radical appointed by Democrat Governor Tim Walz, for the cold-blooded murders of former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark Hortman.
Boelter, who served on Walz’s Governor’s Workforce Development Board after being handpicked by the governor in 2019, is accused of launching a targeted assassination spree on June 14, 2025, that left Hortman and her husband dead and seriously wounded State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife.
Speaking to the New York Post from Sherburne County Jail, Boelter said that his motive was not what people have speculated.
“You are fishing and I can’t talk about my case…I’ll say it didn’t involve either the Trump stuff or pro-life,” Vance Boelter wrote to The Post.
“I am pro-life personaly [sic] but it wasn’t those,” he said. “I will just say there is a lot of information that will come out in future that people will look at and judge for themselves that goes back 24 months before the 14th. If the gov ever let’s [sic] it get out.”
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Vance Boelter has pointed the finger at far-left Governor Tim Walz in a chilling handwritten “confession letter” addressed to FBI Director Kash Patel.
Fox News host Jesse Watters broke the explosive allegation during his primetime show.
“Today, we’re finding out he wrote a letter to the FBI claiming he was trained by the U.S. military — off the books — and that Tim Walz asked him to kill Amy Klobuchar so he could take her Senate seat,” Watters said.
The Minnesota Star Tribune was the first outlet to report on the existence of the letter, citing two sources familiar with the investigation.
According to those sources, the disturbing one-and-a-half-page document was found inside a Buick that Boelter abandoned shortly after murdering Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, and shooting Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette.
The letter allegedly details Boelter’s claims that he was part of a covert military program and received instructions from Governor Walz to eliminate Klobuchar and other political figures in order to “clear the way” for Walz’s ascent to the U.S. Senate.
The letter also reportedly references Senator Tina Smith.
Now, Boelter faces federal charges—murder, stalking, firearms violations—and may even face the federal death penalty, a rarity since Minnesota abolished capital punishment in 1911, according to AP.
The news outlet reported:
A federal grand jury indicted a Minnesota man Tuesday on charges that he fatally shot a prominent Minnesota state representative and her husband and seriously wounded a state senator and his wife while he was allegedly disguised as a police officer.
The indictment handed up lists murder, stalking and firearms charges against Vance Boelter. The murder counts in the deaths of former Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, could carry the federal death penalty.
The chief federal prosecutor for Minnesota has called the killings a political assassination.
Prosecutors initially charged Boelter in a complaint with six counts, including murder, stalking and firearms offenses. But under federal court rules they needed a grand jury indictment to take the case to trial.

Boelter also faces state murder and attempted murder charges in Hennepin County, but the federal case will go first.
