| Trump to announce executive, legislative actions on police reform |
| 2020-06-11 |
| [FOXNEWS] President Trump will soon have a list of police reform proposals that can be accomplished through a combination of executive and legislative action -- and that effort could have some crossover with Democratic proposals, multiple sources told Fox News on Tuesday. Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., is taking the lead on the legislative side, Fox News is told. White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, senior adviser Jared Kushner, and domestic policy adviser Ja'Ron Smith are on Capitol Hill meeting with Scott. The potential executive actions would be taken at the Justice Department, and would be executed in conjunction with law enforcement and community leaders. The priority of the proposals will be on putting in place protections for communities, but not tying the hands of the police, Fox News is told. Trump met with law enforcement leaders who gave him some proposals for possible reforms on Monday, in the wake of the in-custody death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Four ex-officers have been charged in Floyd's death, which touched off nationwide protests, looting, and violence, including the burning of the St. John's Church just steps from the White House.
