Hollywood star Alec Baldwin responds to allegations that he is not cooperating in the investigation into the death of camerawoman Halyana Hutchins.
New York – After the fatal shot during the shooting of the western film “Rust” on the cameraman Halyna Hutchins on October 21, 2021, the investigation continues. Alec Baldwin held the gun from which the shot was fired. Therefore, the actor is also in the focus of the investigators: moved inside. In December 2021, a court in New Mexico state issued a search warrant for Alec Baldwin’s cell phone.
According to the search warrant, the officers want to see text messages, e-mails, videos, photos, call logs, private messages in the social networks and possibly deleted data relating to the filming of “Rust”.
Investigation into fatal shot in “Rust” filming: Alec Baldwin denies allegations
In a video published on Instagram, Alec Baldwin now denies allegations that he would defy the authorities in the investigation. Any suggestion that he will not comply with the investigation warrant for his cell phone is a lie, said Baldwin on Saturday (January 8th, 2022). It is a process in which authorities from another state first have to make a request to the authorities in his home state, the actor explained. “The process takes time”. The authorities would have to specify exactly what they want. “You can’t just go through your cell phone and look at your photos and love letters to your wife,” said Baldwin.
Alec Baldwin made it clear that he would “1000 percent” meet all requirements. He totally agrees with that. He’s working towards the truth. Baldwin had already stated in an earlier Instagram video that no one wanted to know the truth more than he did. “I am hopeful that investigators will find out the truth as soon as possible,” he added, according to CNN. Baldwin’s attorney, Aaron Dyer, also made it clear after the search warrant became known that Alec Baldwin was cooperating with the authorities. He is convinced that the evidence shows that the actor was not responsible for what happened.

“Pay attention to the source,” said Alec Baldwin in his video from Saturday (January 8th, 2022) about the allegations that he would oppose the allegations. The claims were spread by the tabloid New York Post, among others. Baldwin has not yet given his cell phone to the police because there is incriminating evidence, lawyers speculate in an article. Another suspicion is that there could be “shocking” information about his private life on it.
