Washington Week

The motivation for Trump's D.C. takeover

President Trump is busy at home, seizing control over law enforcement in Washington. Trump says there’s a crime crisis that the city leadership failed to end. But this is not a debate about crime statistics, it's about using Washington to advance the MAGA agenda. A part of that agenda – using the United States military for domestic law enforcement.
