President Trump said Monday that he is not planning to meet with members of Jacob Blake’s family while in Kenosha, Wis., because they wanted to have “lawyers involved” which he called “inappropriate.”
“I spoke with the pastor, wonderful man, the family’s pastor. I thought it would be better not to do anything where there are lawyers involved,” Trump told reporters Monday when asked why he wasn’t planning to meet with the Blake family during his trip to Wisconsin on Tuesday.
“They wanted me to speak but they wanted to have lawyers involved and I thought that was inappropriate so I didn’t do that,” Trump continued. “I may at some point do that, but they did have a lawyer that wanted to be on the phone and I said, no that’s inappropriate, but I just gave my best regards.”
On Tuesday, Trump will visit Kenosha, which has been the site of protests and in some cases violence since last week after Blake, a Black man, was shot in the black seven times by a police officer. Blake is currently in critical condition in the hospital following his injuries. The Justice Department has launched a civil rights investigation into the shooting.
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said on Fox News earlier Monday that the administration has been “efforting outreach” to the Blake family but hadn’t been able to connect with them. Chief of staff Mark Meadows left messages with the Blake family and has been speaking with the family’s pastor, his office said.

That is their lawyer.
Why would it be inappropriate?
Well if they want lawyers then it isn’t just a condolences type of meeting so glad he is not doing it
And that bald midget maggot in the red shirt will not be able to sexually assault minors anymore. And maggot skateboard boy won't be able to beat up his girlfriends anymore. And the maggot who nearly got his arm blown off will now need to learn to write and shoot left handed.
The roads of America are littered with those who have tried, and failed, to outsmart President Trump.
Yup
Because the lawyer will walk out, find the microphones and articulate just what a horrible, uncaring man Trump is.
Then he will declare his love for Brussel Sprouts and how he is Trans-sprout or something.
Tells me all I need to know about that family.
And the guy is not even dead. That might be why. He will still face legal issues once he recovers. He was in a world of hurt with his actions that day.
i remember when Nixon called Charles Mansons mother when he got arrested...what a moment.....smh.
Did the lawyers want to serve POTUS a subpoena?
Crump and Crew are racist pricks..Trump did the right thing..he would tape the phone call and leak it to the press..Trump must have heard what Leo Terrell said a few days ago, to stay far far away as long as Crump is involved
Blake is a dubious hero. Trump is good to keep some space there.
Well Blake sexually assaulted the women using his finger so technically since he’s only paralyzed from the waist down, he can unfortunately still move his hands
He still going?
Check out the comments at The Hill for this one. They are surprisingly right-left balanced. Usually The Hill comment sections are a free-for-all sewer of insane lefties. I have a certain level of tolerance for the loony left (liberalism is a mental illness) but usually The Hill comments sections disgust me.
Trump doesn’t even use email for legal reasons. So he’s going to sit down where there’s a lawyer on the phone (recording what he says for later dissemination)?
The Blake’s are morons.
That family is messed up. No wonder their offspring got killed by the police in the middle of all this crap. You really have to go out of your way to get a cop to shoot you these days.
Why?
