WASHINGTON — Four White House officials will attend the funeral this week of Tyre Nichols, the Black man whose death following a traffic stop has spurred renewed calls for police reform.
White House aides Keisha Lance Bottoms, Mitch Landrieu, Tara Murray and Erica Loewe will travel to the Wednesday funeral for Nichols in Memphis, Tennessee.
At the White House on Monday, President Joe Biden again threw his support behind passage of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, a comprehensive package of police reforms that failed to pass both chambers in the last Congress.
