Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer Tuesday appeared to advocate for a guilty verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial, telling reporters, “I hope that justice is brought to the Floyd family.”

Schumer, a New York Democrat, commented on the pending verdict after reporters told him of President Joe Biden’s response when asked about the trial charging Chauvin with killing Floyd, a black man who was in Chauvin’s custody.
