(AP) — Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi says President-elect Donald Trump has reached out to the husband of a slain Orlando police officer.
Bondi said Wednesday that Trump had a phone conversation with the husband of Lt. Debra Clayton, who was fatally shot outside a Wal-Mart store in Orlando last week.
Bondi describes the conversation between Trump and Seth Clayton as “a brief, very touching, private conversation between two husbands.”
A suspect wanted for Clayton’s slaying was taken into custody Tuesday night after a manhunt that lasted more than a week.
Clayton was shot after she approached Markeith Loyd, who was wanted at the time for the killing of his pregnant ex-girlfriend.
Loyd made his first court appearance Thursday. He is being held without bond.
