There was no mistaking the meaning in last week's anonymous text message: Do what we say or die.

"Hey clerk, get ready for a bullet in your head, they gave you an order and you keep on doing shit," read the July 16 text, one of several death threats sent to court clerks assisting Haiti's investigation into the murder of former President Jovenel Moise, according to official complaints filed with Haitian police and seen by CNN.

They're part of a cache of Internal Justice Ministry documents obtained exclusively by CNN, which reveal previously unheard testimonies from key suspects, mysterious attempts to influence the probe, and the acute danger felt by judicial investigators as they attempt to uncover who killed the president on July 7.
