Daniel Penny, the man who was found not guilty in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely, will be the personal guest of Vice President-elect JD Vance at the Army-Navy game on Saturday.
Vance and Penny will watch the game from Trump's suite at the Washington Commanders Stadium in Landover, Maryland, at 3 p.m.
NOTUS, a publication of the Allbritton Journalism Institute, first reported Penny's plan to attend the game.
Penny, a former Marine, was acquitted Monday in the New York chokehold case, with a jury finding him not guilty of criminally negligent homicide.
The case divided many people along political and racial lines, as Penny is white and Neely was Black.
