BISMARCK, North Dakota -- The Morton County Sheriff's Department sent a letter to President-elect Donald Trump which accused Standing Rock water protectors of crimes that there was no evidence of -- crimes water protectors were never charged with. The letter urges Trump to stop the protest of the Dakota Access Pipeline.

After taking office, President Trump signed an executive order to expedite approval of the Dakota Access Pipeline on Jan. 24, 2017. The Oceti Sakowin Camp of Standing Rock water protectors camps was cleared by law enforcement on Feb. 23, 2017.

In the letter to President-elect Trump after the election, Morton County accused water protectors of crimes that there was no evidence of, and crimes that no water protectors were charged with. The letter is revealed in Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier's second deposition, in the current federal case, North Dakota v. USA.

In the typical "good ole boy" style, Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier claims he was honoring water protectors rights to free speech, and just trying to keep the peace, in his deposition in the current case, North Dakota v. United States of America.

Kirchmeier, however, also reveals that only a couple of his sheriff's deputies were trained in the use of less-than lethal weapons. He also reveals that among the first people that he called on for backup was Paul Laney, president of the North Dakota's National Sheriffs Association.

Kirchmeier also says they don't deal in Treaties at the Sheriffs Department.

A federal audit review questions $80 million in expenditures of CARES Act Funds by the Navajo Nation government, according to a letter from the U.S. Inspector General in May. The audit review questions hardship claims, whether enterprises are separate from the tribe, monthly fuel charges, and the fraudulent cashing of duplicate checks.

An independent review for the U.S. Inspector General's Office states that documents are needed to verify whether tribal entities are separate legal and tax entities, and documentation is needed to show payroll, vendor receipts and hardship payments.
