Biden calls New York Mayor Eric Adams to offer condolences for slain cop Jonathan Diller: White House won't say if president spoke to grieving family as Trump heads to wake of officer shot dead in line of duty

President Joe Biden called New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Thursday to give his condolences about the killing of NYC cop Jonathan Diller.

‘President Biden spoke to Mayor Adams and gave his condolences about the tragic killing of Officer Jonathan Diller. The President offered Mayor Adams, the City of New York, and the New York Police Department his support in the wake of the tragedy,’ the White House said in a statement.

Diller was killed Monday when he was shot in Queens after he approached an illegally parked vehicle.

Former President Donald Trump is expected to attend Diller’s funeral on Thursday – the same day Biden will be attending a $25 million fundraiser with former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.

The star-studded event will be hosted by Mindy Kaling and features performances by Queen Latifah and Leah Michelle.

Trump also spoke with the officer’s widow by phone.

Trump has railed against the high crime rates in New York City and other big cities, making it a campaign issue in his race against Biden for the White House.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre couldn’t say if Biden has called Diller’s family.

‘I don’t have any private communications to share at this time,’ she told reporters on Air Force One in route to New York. ‘Our hearts go out, obviously to the officers family and the broader NYPD family, who have tragically lost one of their own.’

Diller received a dignified transfer Tuesday, looked on by New York police officers paying their respects.

Police say 34-year-old Guy Rivera of Queens is charged with first-degree murder of a police officer, attempted murder and criminal possession of a weapon in the case. He remains hospitalized with injuries from the shootout.

The last time a New York City officer died in the line of duty was in January 2022, when Detectives Wilbert Mora, 27, and Jason Rivera, 22, were killed responding to a 911 call in Harlem

Trump previously posted on Truth Social that his ‘heartfelt prayers go out to the family’ of Diller, adding that the officer’s ‘life was taken by a murderous career criminal.’

‘To Officer Diller’s family, and all of the other brave men and women of law enforcement who put your lives on the line every day, we love you, we appreciate you, and we will always stand with you!’ Trump said in his post.
