In his Washington Post column titled "I Reported Omar Mateen to the FBI. Trump Is Wrong That Muslims Don't Do Our Part," Mohammed A. Malik wrote that he and Mateen — the terrorist who killed 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando two weekends ago — would talk from time to time.
Malik said Mateen once revealed he was viewing videos of a radical imam, which led to Malik dropping a dime on him to the FBI. The subsequent probe went nowhere.

He added that Mateen chatted with him in January at a dinner where the topic turned political.
"We talked about the presidential election and debated our views of the candidates that were running – he liked Hillary Clinton and I liked Bernie Sanders," Malik recalled.
Malik wrote that they continued to chat until their final conversation in mid-May.
