Alec Baldwin has spoken out amid the ongoing “Rust” investigation, fielding questions on camera for the first time since the fatal on-set shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. “I’m not allowed to make any comments because it’s an ongoing case,” said Baldwin in a video obtained by TMZ on Saturday. “I’ve been ordered by the sheriff’s department in Santa Fe.
