A.G. Lynch Refuses to Say If Charges Will Be Filed Against Orlando Terrorist’s Wife

‘We’re not commenting on anyone else’s role in it right now’

BASH: "Let me ask you about his wife. She had apparently seen violent changes in her husband’s behavior. He told her about his interest in carrying out a jihadist attack. And we now know that she — she called and texted with her husband during the actual shootings. And he made sure that she had access to bank accounts and other important documents. Do you expect that a grand jury is going to make a determination that she should face charges?" 
LYNCH: "Well, because this investigation is open and ongoing, we’re not commenting on anyone else’s role in it right now, except to say that we are talking to everyone who knew him, and that, of course, includes his family, to determine what they knew, what they saw in the days and weeks leading up to this. But we’re not going to comment on anyone else’s role in it at this point in time, because it is an open and ongoing investigation." 
BASH: "But it’s possible she could face charges?" 
LYNCH: "We’re not going to discuss who may or may not face charges, because, again, this investigation is still in the early stages. We are still gathering information. And we’re still seeking to talk to everyone who had contact with this killer."
