The White House expressed condolences to the family of former football star and actor O.J. Simpson following his Wednesday death from cancer.
Simpson, who won a Heisman Trophy playing at the University of Southern California before embarking on a Hall of Fame NFL career, polarized the nation after he was charged and eventually acquitted in 1995 of the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.
“Our thoughts are with his families through this difficult time, obviously his family and loved ones,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters on Thursday when asked about Simpson’s death and if he had ever interacted with President Joe Biden. “And I’ll say this. I know they have asked for some privacy, so we are going to respect that. I’ll just leave it there.”
