The White House announced measures to address the ongoing crime crisis in Washington, D.C., after repeated warnings from President Donald Trump about a potential federal government intervention.
In early July , Trump noted his disappointment with the crime rates, stating, "We could run D.C."
'There will be no "MR. NICE GUY."'
"We're thinking about doing it, to be honest with you," he continued. "We want a capital that's run flawlessly, and it wouldn't be hard for us to do it."
This past week, Trump repeated those threats after Edward Coristine, an engineer also known as "Big Balls" who previously worked for the Department of Government Efficiency, was brutally beaten by a group of individuals while protecting a woman from an attempted carjacking near Dupont Circle.
