(Worthy News) – The Orlando nightclub shooter’s dad – revealed to be an FBI informant – told authorities who were investigating Omar Mateen before the attack that pro-terror comments the would-be gunman made to coworkers were just examples of him “being stupid,” an agent testified Monday.

Martin testified Seddique told him something like “if he had done those things he was being stupid,” the Orlando Sentinel reported. [ Source: Fox News (Read More…) ]
