Didn’t Trump and Barr throw their hats into the George Floyd ring? Did the conviction have anything to do with Barr’s civil rights investigation?
“At my request, the FBI and the Department of Justice are already well into an investigation as to the very sad and tragic death in Minnesota of George Floyd," he (trump) wrote. "I have asked for this investigation to be expedited and greatly appreciate all of the work done by local law enforcement. My heart goes out to George's family and friends. Justice will be served!"

“Attorney General William Barr on Friday announced a federal civil rights investigation into the death of George Floyd while in custody of Minneapolis police this week.
Barr called video of the arrest, which shows then-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck as he lay handcuffed on the ground, “harrowing to watch and deeply disturbing” and pledged that justice will be served in the case.
