Trump ups fedeal law enforcement in DC

 The Guardian -   There will be increased presence of federal law enforcement in Washington DC, the White House announced yesterday, to combat crime for at least the next week.  It comes amid Donald Trump’s suggestions that his administration could fully take over running the city, Associated Press reports.

“Washington, DC is an amazing city, but it has been plagued by violent crime for far too long,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. “President Trump has directed an increased presence of federal law enforcement to protect innocent citizens.”
