Floyd's family meets with President Joe Biden, lawmakers on Capitol Hill
Floyd’s family, along with their attorney, Benjamin Crump, attended a closed meeting with President Joe Biden at the White House Tuesday afternoon.
President Biden and his team have been “closely engaged” with negotiators on the George Floyd bill but are “respecting the space” negotiators need to work out the details, White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Tuesday afternoon.
Prior to meeting the president, Floyd’s family also spoke with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Karen Bass.
"What we hope to do at all of those meetings is to continue to say, let's don't lose this moment. It's been 57 years since we've had meaningful police reform," Crump said Tuesday morning on SiriusXM’s “The Joe Madison Show.” "And this is our moment to finally pass some federal legislation with teeth in it."
The Floyds, along with NAACP President Derrick Johnson, are also set to meet with Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C.
"It is critical that the bill is substantive and that we get it right," Johnson said in a statement Tuesday. "We want the right bill, not a rushed bill."
