Taking to Instagram, Alec Baldwin called out claims that said he was not complying with a search warrant. Calling it as a procedure between two different police departments, Alec Baldwin said that he is 1,000 per cent complying with the authorities.

Alec Baldwin, the 63-year-old actor, said that there is no non-compliance but a procedure that is being followed by two different states. He said that it is not possible for officials from one state to simply come and take the phone with them. He further said that officials have a procedure that needs to be duly followed, and thus it is taking time, adding that he is cooperating with the authorities. Alec Baldwin said all of this through a video that he posted on his official Instagram handle. He also said in the video that he too is waiting for the truth to come out and that will happen only once the investigation is over.
