Trump says he isn't meeting with Blake family because they wanted 'lawyers involved'

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.

I see the Jacob Blake's gofundme page has over 2,000,000 dollars collected. Kyle Rittenhouse gofundme account was pulled. Nice world we live in.

The father of Jacob Blake went off the rails during an interview with Anderson Cooper and dodged questions by talking about his dislike of brussell sprouts.

I thought I recognized him sitting alongside the mother. I thought if she didn’t want a fiasco made out of her son’s death, what is HE doing there?

Who the hell has their lawyer on the phone with the President? What a joke the Dad is. The Mom is not all wrapped up in this crap. The Dad sounds like Jeremiah Wright.

That is one angry looking person...and he doesn’t want to hear from President Trump as he’s already talked to PRESIDENT BIDEN. What a loon..Hope the mother of Blake dumped him years ago..

Because the Lawyer wants to press Trump to do something, say something. And when Trump tells him to screw, the Lawyer and Dad will hold another news conference.

When said Maggot gets out of prison that is. Felon in possession of a firearm, felon with a concealed firearm, Attempted murder with a deadly weapon, rioting, burning, looting, and other crimes. Let's not forget Felony murder. He was attacking the minor along with others. Anyone involved in the attack is charged with murder when there is a death during the commission of a felony.

Said maggot hasn't even been arrested as far as I can tell. Not only that, he has hired scumbag attorney Kimberley Motley to sue anybody he can.

The man who was shot in the arm during a protest in Kenosha is being represented by attorney Kimberley Motley
