Detective Myles Cosgrove, one of the officers who shot Taylor, and Detective Joshua Jaynes, who prepared the search warrant, had been told in December that they may be fired.

Both men will have an opportunity to argue against their firings at the hearing. The hearing is not open to the public.

The shooting of the 26-year-old woman in her Louisville home sparked months of protests there amid national protests over racial injustice and police misconduct.

The anonymous statement released Thursday reiterated another grand juror's earlier publicized complaint that the panel was only able to consider endangerment charges against one officer for shooting into Taylor's neighbour's apartment.

A Kentucky judge ruled on Tuesday that an anonymous grand juror may speak publicly about the evidence that the state attorney general presented in the shooting death of Breonna Taylor by police officers.

Democratic challenger Amy McGrath sparred with McConnell over Congress' failure to pass another economic relief package for the country.

A court in Louisville, Ky., ruled that the content of the proceedings, typically kept secret, should be made public by noontime Friday.

Attorney General Daniel Cameron's office filed a motion asking a court in Louisville for a week's delay to allow the names of witnesses and their personal information, including addresses and phone numbers, to be redacted.

A statement from Cameron's office says the recording will be released on a judge's order, the reports say, despite concerns the information will compromise an ongoing federal investigation. 

Brett Hankison's plea comes five days after a grand jury indicted him on three counts of wanton endangerment for firing into the home of Taylor's neighbours.
