众议院司法委员会预计将于周三听取乔治·弗洛伊德的菲洛尼斯·弗洛伊德的证词兄弟在第一次众议院听证会上弗洛伊德死后的警务改革两位参与听证会策划的国会消息人士告诉美国广播公司。
目前还不清楚弗洛伊德是否会亲自或虚拟地在国会山作证，因为众议院在2010年的听证会上采用了新的程序冠状病毒流行病。一名助手表示，该委员会的听证会将结合虚拟和面对面的参与，并将在国会大厦的一个更大的空间内举行，以保持社会距离。
弗洛伊德的兄弟们日益公开的角色自从他们兄弟死后。菲洛尼斯和特伦斯·弗洛伊德本周早些时候在纽约市为他们的兄弟举行的追悼会上发表了讲话，并参观了明尼阿波利斯市前警官德里克·肖万的故居跪在乔治·弗洛伊德的脖子上将近九分钟。
“在每一起警察暴力案件中，都发生了同样的事情。特伦斯本周在明尼阿波利斯对抗议者说:“你们都抗议，你们都破坏东西。”。“让我们用另一种方法来做这件事。”
菲洛尼斯在纽约演讲时，记得他的哥哥是一个每个人都想和他在一起的人。
“他们觉得自己是总统。这就是他给你的感觉，”菲洛尼斯·弗洛伊德说。“他感动了这么多人的心，这让我很惊讶，因为他一直在感动我们的心。"
2020年6月4日，乔治·弗洛伊德的哥哥特伦斯(左二)在纽约布鲁克林的凯德曼广场举行乔治·弗洛伊德纪念示威后，走过布鲁克林大桥的曼哈顿一侧。
菲洛尼斯将于周三在众议院议员面前作证，上周他与特朗普总统和前副总统乔·拜登进行了交谈。
拜登“和我谈了大概10年...15分钟。我试图让他闭嘴，因为他一直在和我说话。很棒的谈话。但特朗普，这大概持续了两分钟，”他在接受美国有线电视新闻网采访时表示。
在众议院和参议院民主党于周一提出一揽子警务改革后，众议院将于周三举行首次关于警察暴行的听证会。
众议院司法委员会主席杰里·纳德勒在宣布听证会的一份声明中说:“现在每个州都有抗议活动发生，因为人们采取了反对警察暴行和种族主义的立场。”。“人们理所当然地感到沮丧，他们感到沮丧，他们希望被听到。他们想要真正的改变，而不是无意义的话。我想让美国人知道，我听到了他们，也看到了他们。”
该委员会表示，听证会将“审查种族貌相、警察暴力以及警察部门和他们所服务的社区之间失去信任的危机。”
众议院民主党人希望在月底通过立法，届时众议院将返回进行下一轮预定投票。
George Floyd's brother to testify in House hearing on police brutality
The House Judiciary Committee is expected to hear testimony on Wednesday from Philonise Floyd, George Floyd'sbrother, in the first House hearing onpolicing reforms since Floyd's death, two congressional sources involved in planning for the hearing told ABC News.
It's not clear if Floyd will testify on Capitol Hill in-person or virtually, given the House's new procedures for hearings during thecoronaviruspandemic. An aide said the panel's hearing will feature a combination of virtual and in-person participation, and will be held in a larger space in the Capitol to allow for social distancing.
Floyd's brothers have taken onan increasingly public rolesince their brother's death. Both Philonise and Terrence Floyd spoke earlier this week at a New York City memorial service for their brother, and visited the site in Minneapolis where former police officer Derek Chauvinknelt on George Floyd's neckfor nearly nine minutes.
"In every case of police brutality, the same thing has been happening. Y'all protest, y'all destroy stuff," Terrence said to protesters in Minneapolis this week. "Let's do this another way."
Philonise, speaking in New York, remembered his brother as someone everyone wanted to be around.
"They felt like they was the president. That's how he made you feel," Philonise Floyd said. "It's amazing to me that he touched so many people's hearts 'cause he's been touching our hearts."
George Floyd's brother Terrence, second from left, walks across the the Manhattan side of the Brooklyn Bridge after a George Floyd Memorial demonstration at Cadman Plaza in Brooklyn, New York, June 4, 2020.
Philonise, who will testify before House lawmakers on Wednesday, spoke to both President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden last week.
Biden "talked to me for like 10 ... 15 minutes. And I was trying to talk his ear off because he was talking to me constantly. Great conversation. But Trump, it lasted probably two minutes," he told CNN in an interview.
The House will hold its first hearing on police brutality on Wednesday, after House and Senate Democrats introduce a package of policing reforms on Monday.
"There are now protests taking place in every state as people take a stand against police brutality and racism," House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler said in a statement announcing the hearing. "People are rightfully upset, they are frustrated, and they want to be heard. They want real change, not meaningless words. I want Americans to know that I hear them, and I see them."
The committee said the hearing will "examine the crisis of racial profiling, police brutality and lost trust between police departments and the communities they serve."
House Democrats are hoping to pass legislation at the end of the month, when the chamber returns for its next scheduled votes.
