Listen Later

Officer Jesse Branch, who died as a result of a two-vehicle crash on Nov. 27, will have a funeral held for him Saturday in Red Lake. The driver of the other vehicle, Alan Lussier Jr., a Red Lake band member, also died. The 35-year-old officer was a father of six.


Minnesota's top federal law enforcement official says he'll step down before Inauguration Day. Andy Luger is wrapping up his second stint as the state’s U.S. Attorney after serving under President Barack Obama, as well. It's custom for political appointees to resign during presidential transitions.


This is a MPR News morning update, hosted by Alexander Simpson. Music by Gary Meister.
