Lynch
met Monday evening with President Barack Obama to discuss the riots in
Baltimore. The meeting was not called specifically as a result of the
situation in Baltimore, the White House said, but Lynch told Obama she'd
be monitoring the situation there.
"As
our investigative process continues, I strongly urge every member of
the Baltimore community to adhere to the principles of nonviolence,"
Lynch said in a statement. "In the days ahead, I intend to work with
leaders throughout Baltimore to ensure that we can protect the security
and civil rights of all residents. And I will bring the full resources
of the Department of Justice to bear in protecting those under threat,
investigating wrongdoing, and securing an end to violence."
Obama also spoke with Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake on Monday, while his senior adviser, Valerie Jarrett, spoke with Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, the White House said
