A US Marine veteran who was acquitted in the chokehold death of a homeless man on the New York subway -- a high-profile case highlighting the divisive issue of race in America -- has been hired by a major Silicon Valley firm allied with Donald Trump.
California-based Andreessen Horowitz said Daniel Penny would join the company's American Dynamism wing that supports the "national interest," including aerospace, defense and public safety, according to the firm's website on Wednesday.
