Daniel Penny was facing a long prison sentence last week … but, now he’s living the good life — meeting two of the most powerful men in government on Saturday.
The Marine veteran met President-Elect Donald Trump and his future Vice President J.D. Vance … posing for pictures with them at the Army-Navy football game in Maryland.
In the photo — posted by one of Trump’s staff members — the three share big grins … with Penny taking center stage in the photo between the two politicians.
Huge smiles from everyone involved … with no indication of all the controversy surrounding Penny since the jury in his earlier this week.
ICYMI … Penny was acquitted of criminally negligent homicide in relation to Jordan Neely’s death earlier this week after prosecutors dropped a manslaughter charge when the jury was deadlocked late last week.
Vance invited Penny to the game earlier this week … and, he accepted — though he reportedly said there were other veterans more deserving than him.
BTW … Penny wasn’t the only well-known person in attendance — with Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, Elon Musk, Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth and more in Trump’s suite.
The invitation is a hit among conservatives … who say this shows that America is roaring back in a big way. However, many liberals believe Penny should have been convicted for Neely’s death and are slamming Trump’s choice.
