Headline: New York Times, 3/20/2026
Glenn Thrush reports:
The Justice Department asked a federal judge on Friday to drop the remaining criminal charges against two Louisville, Ky., police officers involved in drafting the no-knock search warrant that led to the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor in 2020.
The motion, filed in the Western District of Kentucky, asked the court to dismiss the charges “in the interest of justice.” A department spokesman described the charges as an example of “weaponized federal overreach” by the Biden administration.

Kristen Clarke, who was the head of the Justice Department’s civil rights division when the case was brought, denounced the motion to dismiss the charges. “This move is indefensible and unsupported by the facts and the law,” she said. “It is especially callous that this comes as communities just marked the six-year anniversary of her tragic murder.”
