A Hennepin County judge last month allowed journalists and members of the public to view the footage by appointment but has not yet ruled on a motion by a coalition of news organizations, including The Associated Press, seeking public access to the videos

A spokesman for Hennepin County District Court told the Star Tribune an investigation is underway into the leak but declined further comment.
