The Justice Department said Friday it would rewrite part of an order from Attorney General Pam Bondi about the temporary takeover of the Washington, D.C. police to avoid an injunction from a federal judge.

DOJ lawyers told U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes during a hearing in a Washington, D.C., courtroom that they would rewrite a section of Bondi’s Thursday order designating DEA administrator Terrance Cole as the Metropolitan Police Department’s emergency police commissioner, giving him authority over the entire police force, including department leadership.
