Trump will attend wake for slain NYPD hero who leaves behind young widow and young son – while Biden lives the high life at star-studded Radio City fundraiser with Clinton and Obama
Former President Donald Trump will attend the wake of slain NYPD officer Jonathan Diller, while President Joe Biden will simultaneously be holding a lavish fundraiser at NYC‘s iconic Radio City Music Hall.
On Monday, officer Diller was shot and killed in Queens during a routine traffic stop.
Horrifying footage of the incident shows the cop screaming in pain as he died. The three-year veteran of the force leaves behind a wife and one-year-old son.
On Wednesday, an NYPD spokesperson confirmed rumors that Trump was planning to attend the wake Thursday at the Massapequa Funeral Home in New York.
Biden, on the other hand, will spend his evening hobnobbing with donors at a fundraiser that will feature guests including former Democratic presidents Clinton and Obama, as well as a slate of celebrity musical entertainers.
Guy Rivera, 34, the man believed to have fired the shot that killed Diller, had been arrested 21 times before the incident on Monday, including for nine felonies.
Ahead of the funeral, thousands of NYPD officers were seen gathering at the Massapequa funeral home to witness the arrival of Diller’s body.
Also on Thursday, Biden will jet into the Big Apple for an extremely high-profile fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall.
The event will feature musical talents like Lizzo, Queen Latifah, and Ben Platt. It will also include Stephen Colbert moderating a conversation between Biden, and former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.
Famed photographer Annie Leibovitz will also be onsite to snap portraits of donors with the three Democratic presidents.
