The 2 hr. delay in the Floyd press conference. [View all]

The first thing the U.S. attorney in charge of the Floyd investigation did was apologise for the 2 hr. delay in convening the press conference. She said the reason for the delay was that they thought they had a "development" that would be disclosed but as it turns out, they did not.

What could this "development" have possibly been except an announcement of an arrest?

Then she proceeded to tell us that no less than Trump and Bill Barr are involved, overseeing the investigation.

Is it possible that Trump and Barr nixed a proposed arrest?
