Lawyer Who Represented Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin Families Will Endorse Clinton
Benjamin Crump, the high-profile attorney who has represented the families of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown, has endorsed Hillary Clinton, two sources told BuzzFeed News.
The Clinton campaign confirmed the news Friday.
“Crump will talk to South Carolina voters about what’s at stake in this election and Hillary Clinton’s strong record of fighting for families,” a Clinton aide said. “He will highlight how Clinton is the only one who will stand up to the gun lobby, has a plan to reform our criminal justice system, and understands the issues that keep families up at night.”
Crump introduced Clinton at the National Bar Association’s event commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Montgomery Bus Boycott in Montgomery, Ala. in December. Clinton delivered an address which celebrated the achievements of the legal community in the protest.
“So even as we celebrate all that our country has achieved in the past 60 years, we must, in keeping with the legacy of those who have gone before, look to the future and the work that is left to do,” Clinton said, highlighting the need for an overhaul of the criminal justice system. “We can’t go on like this. We’ve got to change.”
