Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to attend the wake of slain NYPD officer Jonathan Diller on Long Island Thursday, according to officials who spoke to the New York Post, while President Joe Biden’s campaign will host a “party” fundraising event expected to raise tens of millions.
“President Trump is moved by the invitation to join NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller’s family and colleagues as they deal with his senseless and tragic death,” said Karoline Leavitt, the former commander-in-chief’s campaign spokesperson.
Diller, a 31-year-old married father, was on patrol in Far Rockaway on Monday when he was shot and fatally wounded by an ex-convict and his career criminal accomplice, according to police reports cited by The Post.
In an exclusive interview with The Post’s Michael Goodwin earlier this month, the former president who is leading President Joe Biden in most national polls — especially in battleground states — blamed the “radical lunatic left” for ruining American cities.
