his Bible-holding photo op<\/a> at St. John\u2019s last week, included Ja\u2019Ron Smith, the deputy director of the White House Office of American Innovation, in Monday\u2019s event.<\/p>\n\u201cAs an individual, I\u2019ve also had the fear of living in a certain neighborhood or driving certain types of cars as an African-American just because of my relationship with the police,\u201d Mr. Smith said. \u201cThere are a lot of African-American males across the country that have stories that they can share.\u201d<\/p>\n
But he added that police officers should not be demonized. \u201cWe can\u2019t let a few bad apples represent something that is the core of everything we do,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Attorney General William P. Barr, in an interview with Fox News on Monday, said that the demonstrations were so bad at the end of May that the Secret Service recommended that President Trump go to his bunker for safety, contradicting the president\u2019s claim that he went there to check it out.<\/p>\n
