FBI has released the full, unedited transcript of the 911 call to police made by Omar Mateen, the shooter in the Orlando terrorist attack after previously omitting the previous version of the transcript where Marteen professed allegiance to terrorist organizations.
According to the White House, the omission was a Justice Department decision. According to the new transcript, Marteen was committed to ISIS, which he referred to as the “Islamic State.”
