White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters that the Biden administration has been in communication with local law enforcement in Kenosha, Wisconsin, of possible unrest following the verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse case.

A jury of seven women and five men declared Rittenhouse, who was accused in the shooting deaths of two men on a night of riots and protests last year, not guilty on all five charges on Friday afternoon. The most serious charge would have carried a maximum sentence of life in prison.
