George Floyd's family meets with Biden and lawmakers on anniversary of death

Washington — Members of George Floyd's family are in Washington on Tuesday to meet with President Biden and top congressional leaders, one year to the day after his death at the hands of a white police officer rocked the country and sparked nationwide protests against police brutality.

Floyd's relatives first traveled to Capitol Hill to meet with Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Congresswoman Karen Bass, who is one of the leaders of the ongoing bipartisan, bicameral negotiations to reach a deal on police reform legislation. "I stand here to renew the commitment that we will get this bill on President Biden's desk," Bass said in remarks to reporters after the meeting with Floyd's family. "We will work until we get the job done. It will be passed in a bipartisan manner. And so that is a commitment that we are making, [that] I'm making personally for the family."
