Kyle Rittenhouse donations came from police, public officials: report
Fox News
Kyle Rittenhouse, the Illinois teenager accused of killing two protesters in Wisconsin during a period of civil unrest, has received thousands of dollars in donations for his legal defense from public officials and police officers, according to media reports.
Some donors were associated with email addresses traced to police and public work emails, it said. Rittenhouse, 18, pleaded not guilty earlier this year to several homicide charges in connection with the killing of Anthony Huber, 26, and Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and the shooting of 22-year-old Gaige Grosskreutz during unrest in Kenosha, Wis. The killings occurred days after the Aug. 23 police shooting of Jacob Blake by Kenosha officer Rusten Sheskey. Sheskey was not charged for the shooting and has returned to work from administrative leave.More Related News
