Biden offered support in call with George Floyd family, who says protests should be 'peaceful'
Fox News
The brother of George Floyd said Tuesday that President Biden called him to offer support as closing arguments ended and jury deliberation begins in the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki confirmed via Twitter Tuesday that Biden spoke with George Floyd's family "yesterday to check in with them and also share that the family was in his prayers." While Philonise Floyd said he wanted protesters to remain "peaceful," he said he couldn't prevent people from expressing their pain – especially following the recent fatal police shooting of 20-year-old Daunte Wright just 10 miles from Floyd's encounter with Chauvin last May.More Related News
