Trump ally and frequent cable news commentator Dan Bongino is expected to testify Wednesday in a high-profile House Judiciary Committee hearing on police brutality
, according to a communication reviewed by POLITICO.
The combative Fox News personality was included on an informal list of witnesses sent to staff of committee Democrats Monday night. He was listed as one of the Republicans’ witnesses. A spokesperson for committee Republicans declined to comment, and Bongino did not immediately respond to multiple requests for comment.The hearing will focus on police brutality, in the wake of the killing of an unarmed African American man, George Floyd, by a white police officer in Minneapolis.
Two autopsy reports have called the death a homicide, and video of the killing set off massive, nationwide protests against police brutality. Some protesters have called for defunding police departments, along with a host of other proposed changes. Bongino, formerly an agent in the U.S. Secret Service, is an outspoken defender of law enforcement. In a recent "Fox and Friends” appearance, he said defunding police was “catastrophic.”Floyd’s brother, Philonise Floyd, is also expected to testify at Wednesday’s hearing, along with a number of other witnesses. Darrell Scott, an African American pastor and Trump ally, is also set to testify. Scott is listed on the communication that POLITICO reviewed, and confirmed he will participate.
“I think defunding, dismantling police departments would be one of the most irresponsible, foolish, unwise decisions that any elected official has ever made in the history of this great country," he said."When I was in the 75th precinct as a New York City Police Department [officer,] the golden rule was when the cuffs are on and the subject is controlled, the fight is over," he saidHe has also lobbed criticism at a number of committee Democrats over the years.
