Trump did send armed agents to clear George Floyd protesters for photo-op: report

The Justice Department Inspector General filed its final report Wednesday finding that Donald Trump and his attorney general, Bill Barr, sent armed agents to clear peaceful George Floyd protesters in Washington, D.C., so he could do a photo-op at a church.

Legal analyst and podcaster Allison Gill posted a link to the report on X that not only did the two men send armed agents into a peaceful crowd, the agents "lacked proper training, and sometimes without clothing or vests identifying them as law enforcement officers."
