President Trump is threatening to deploy the National Guard to Washington, D.C., and take over the city’s police department after a former DOGE staffer was injured in an attempted carjacking. On social media, Trump said he had “no choice but to take federal control of the city.” Trump was also asked if he wanted Congress to overturn D.C.’s home rule, which has allowed the district to self-govern since 1973, and he replied, “The lawyers are already studying it.”
