President Donald Trump said Friday that he wasn't aware of the effort to have him pardon Derek Chauvin, the white police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd. 'No I haven't even heard about it,' Trump answered Friday in the Oval Office. Floyd's May 2020 death at the hands of Chauvin cued widespread protests and propelled the Black Lives Matter movement to the forefront of American politics.
