President Trump will hit the streets of Washington, D.C., on Thursday night to join patrols as part of his administration’s extraordinary federal takeover of law enforcement in the capital.
“I’m going to be going out tonight with the police and with the military, of course,” Trump said Thursday in an interview with radio host Todd Starnes.
Earlier this month, the president put the Washington police force under federal control and began surging federal agents and National Guard troops to the city for a crackdown on what he said was rampant crime, even though statistics show a sharp recent decline.
This is a breaking news story and will be updated with new information.
