I wish I had been more truthful," Noor Salman, wife of Pulse nightclub shooter Omar Mateen, wrote in a statement to the FBI that was shown to the court on Monday. She was first arrested in January 2017 , months after Mateen killed 49 people and injured more than 50 others when he opened fire at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. Prosecutors have argued that Salman knew about Mateen's plan beforehand and did not stop him, and that she misled investigators. In the third statement to the FBI, Salman said she "burned up his phone" trying to contact him and stop him on the day of the mass shooting, but he never answered. Moreno, Salman's attorney, said in opening statements that FBI investigators had coerced Salman into "adopting their narrative" and that they failed to record her statements.
