President Joe Biden who, earlier in the day, said that he was “praying” for the “right verdict” in Derek Chauvin’s murder trial, reportedly phoned George Floyd’s family after hearing Chauvin had been found guilty on all three counts, telling them that he and Vice President Kamala Harris were “relieved” at the verdict.

The Floyd family attorney, Ben Crump, posted a video of the Floyd family speaking to President Joe Biden on Twitter. In it, a member of the Floyd family can be heard asking Biden how he is feeling following the announcement that Chauvin had been convicted.
