Attorneys representing the Pulse nightclub shooter's widow have filed a motion calling for a mistrial citing the recent bombshell revelation that the attacker’s father was an FBI informant for 11 years. Salman is standing trial on charges of providing material support to a foreign terror organization, ISIS, and with obstructing justice. According to the motion, the elder Mateen served as a confidential FBI source from 2005 until 2016. Those unspecified threats sparked an intense 10-month investigation involving surveillance and repeated interviews of Omar Mateen. His final text to Salman, sent at 4.29am on June 12, 2016, read: 'I love you babe.'
