White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said President Donald Trump may take action on police reform via an executive order in the wake of protests, arson incidents, and riots following the death of George Floyd.

In an interview on Wednesday, she said Trump has been reviewing proposals on reform since he and Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), who is black, met to discuss the issue. Some activists and leftists have called for defunding or abolishing police forces, sparking concerns about what might replace them.
