A federal judge on Monday sentenced former Louisville police officer Brett Hankison to nearly three years in prison over a drug raid that resulted in the death of Breonna Taylor in 2020.

The judge’s sentence dismissed a request from the Department of Justice that Hankison be sentenced to only one day in prison and three years of supervised release, according to The New York Times. Hankison was convicted of excessive use of force for firing rounds through Taylor’s window during a drug raid. None of the shots hit Taylor.

Harmeet Dhillon, who leads the Justice Department’s civil rights arm, had asked the judge in the case, Rebecca Grady Jennings, for a sentence that included only one day in prison which would have essentially amounted to time served.

The Taylor family attorneys, led by Ben Crump, said in a statement: “While today’s sentence is not what we had hoped for — nor does it fully reflect the severity of the harm caused — it is more than what the Department of Justice sought. That, in itself, is a statement. The jury found Brett Hankison guilty, and that verdict deserved to be met with real accountability.”

Dhillon’s request symbolized the shift in focus of the Trump Justice Department away from Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and racial justice priorities that dominated the previous administration. Taylor’s case made national waves in the wake of George Floyd’s death and was promoted as another example of allegedly endemic racial bias in law enforcement.

Police shot and killed Taylor in March 2020 while executing a drug raid on her apartment in connection with convicted drug trafficker Jamarcus Glover, who was sentenced to seven years in prison last year for violating his probation. Police targeted Taylor’s apartment in connection with Glover, who had dated Taylor previous to the raid, because Glover had stayed at the apartment and at times received his mail there.

Unknown to police at the time, Taylor’s boyfriend Kenneth Walker was with her in the apartment on the night of the raid. Police first knocked, then broke down the door, surprising Taylor and Walker. Walker, who told police he thought Glover was breaking into the apartment, fired on police officers, hitting one in the leg. Officers fired back, missing Walker, but fatally striking Taylor.

Two other officers involved in the raid, former detective Joshua Jaynes and former Sgt. Kyle Meany, are facing charges related to violation of civil rights and obstruction of justice.

The White House blocked The Wall Street Journal from joining the press pool for President Donald Trump’s weekend trip to Scotland.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that Wall Street Journal reporter Tarini Parti has been removed from the pool over her outlet’s “fake and defamatory” story regarding the extent of the president’s past relationship with the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.

“As the appeals court confirmed, the Wall Street Journal or any other news outlet are not guaranteed special access to cover President Trump in the Oval Office, aboard Air Force One, and in his private workspaces,” Leavitt told Politico in a statement. “Due to the Wall Street Journal’s fake and defamatory conduct, they will not be one of the thirteen outlets on board. Every news organization in the entire world wishes to cover President Trump, and the White House has taken significant steps to include as many voices as possible.”

Trump filed a libel suit against The Wall Street Journal last week after the outlet published a story on a risque birthday message Trump allegedly sent to Epstein in 2003. The president has dismissed the birthday letter at the center of the story as “FAKE.”

The White House Correspondents’ Association said the White House’s action against The Wall Street Journal “defies the First Amendment.”

“Government retaliation against news outlets based on the content of their reporting should concern all who value free speech and an independent media,” CBS News correspondent and association president Weijia Jiang said in a statement. “We strongly urge the White House to restore the Wall Street Journal to its previous position in the pool and aboard Air Force One for the President’s upcoming trip to Scotland. The WHCA stands ready to work with the administration to find a quick resolution.”

The association previously oversaw entry into the press pool and grant access to the pool for special events, such as the president’s trip to Scotland. The White House stripped the association of the authority earlier this year, ending the power of a cabal of “D.C.-based journalists” to dictate “which journalists get to ask questions of the president of the United States in these most intimate spaces,” Leavitt said at the time.

Earlier this year, the president banned all Associated Press reporters and photographers from all pools over the outlet’s refusal to recognize the renamed “Gulf of America.” The legality of the outlet’s removal is currently being litigated in court.
