George Clooney Shares His Thoughts About the Derek Chauvin Murder Trial

George Clooney emailed George Floyd’s family lawyer, Benjamin Crumb, with some brutal advice on how to respond to Derek Chauvin’s defense attorneys in the former police officer’s current murder trial. ET has confirmed with a rep for Clooney that he did send this email to Crumb. On Tuesday, Crump opened up about the blunt message he received from Clooney during an appearance on ‘The View.’ Crump recalled of Clooney's email, “‘Attorney Crump, you should tell them if Derek Chauvin feels so confident in that, he should volunteer during his case, to get down on the floor in that courtroom, and let somebody come and put their knee on his neck for 9 minutes and 29 seconds and be able to see if he can survive.’”
