Over the course of six days, subway vigilante Daniel Penny has gone from fearing a jail sentence to spending time with the president-elect in a luxury suite.
The Marine veteran was greeted as a hero on Saturday when he joined soon-to-be President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance at the annual Army-Navy football game, the New York Post reported on Friday.

Penny, who was acquitted Monday by a Manhattan jury in the chokehold death of NYC subway rider Jordan Neely, was the personal guest of Vance at the intense rivalry game, watching from the president-elect’s suite at Northwest Stadium in Landover, MD.

“Others attending the game included Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth, Intelligence Director nominee Tulsi Gabbard, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and billionaire Elon Musk,” the New York Post noted. “Before kickoff, Penny dressed in a navy blue suit and tie, was spotted in the luxury suite talking with Vance, the future veep’s wife, Usha, and Johnson.”
