More than 340 people were arrested across New York City during protests that started Saturday and lasted into Sunday morning, a senior NYPD official told CNN
From CNN's Kaitlan Collins and Kevin LiptakThere is a serious divide among President Trump's top allies and advisers over how he should address several nights of protests and riots across the nation following the death of George Floyd, according to several sources familiar with the deliberations.
During a staff call Friday, Trump's top domestic policy aide, Brooke Rollins, argued for a measured response to riots the night before, advice that was echoed by Jared Kushner, the sources said. Several advisers feared, and hoped to avoid, another Charlottesville moment. The next day, Trump had revived some of the violent imagery by evoking dogs and weaponry at the ready inside the White House gates, despite the earlier encouragement from his advisers to tone down his language.
