George Clooney emailed George Floyd’s family lawyer advice amid Derek Chauvin murder trial

During a recent virtual appearance on “The View," George Floyd's family attorney, Benjamin Crump, said George Clooney emailed him about how he should respond to Derek Chauvin's defense lawyers' suggestion that a drug overdose caused Floyd's death.

Attorney Benjamin Crump, who is the lawyer for the Floyd family, appeared virtually on "The View" on Thursday and relayed to co-host Joy Behar that Clooney, 59, has been entrenched in societal issues so much that the Oscar-winning actor often emails Crump with ideas on how to drive social change. Clooney, who shares three-year-old twins Alexander and Ella with wife Amal Clooney, simply wants his children to "live in a better world," Crump said.
