"I like May as a politician but she has to spin this story as it was embarrassing to have the NYT scoop it. I was hoping you would share why you thought it was critical. Insensitive yes but critical I doubt."

The Manchester police are now withholding evidence on the case from the US government.

Is the Manchester police department trying "to spin this story as it was embarrassing to have the NYT times scoop it"?

Must be a national obsession there.

As for "Insensitive yes but critical I doubt", as there may be a larger organization behind this (ISIS has claimed responsibility) and more elements likely still at large and obviously eager to kill, it would certainly be critical.
