McEnany Says WH Has Attempted ‘Outreach’ To Jacob Blake’s Family — Family’s Attorney Says Otherwise

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany offered an update on President Donald Trump’s efforts to connect with the family of Jacob Blake, a Black man shot several times by an officer of the Kenosha Police Department.

On Monday morning, McEnany appeared on “Fox & Friends” where she was asked about the White House’s efforts to contact the Blake family.

According to McEnany, the president still has not spoken with the family.

“We are efforting outreach, have not been able to connect yet. So tomorrow the plan is so far to go and to meet with law enforcement and to look at some of the damage from the riots, but we are holding his family close to our hearts,” McEnany said.

Although McEnany claims outreach efforts have been made, Ben Crump, the attorney representing the Blake family, insists his office has not received any calls from the White House.

During an appearance on MSNBC, Crump was asked about the status of a potential conversation between his client and the president.

He said, “My office has received no calls to set up any kind of meeting.”
