YouTube Description
as posted by the channelTrump administration is taking over management of the Washington, D.C.'s main rail hub, Union Station in the latest effort to put the capital city further under federal control. The government already owns the facility, but it had been managed by Amtrak.
Meanwhile, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said increased federal involvement in the district has helped, particularly to reduce violent crime and auto theft. But she disagreed with some of the federal government's methods.
And federal prosecutors have reportedly failed to indict a man who threw a sandwich at a federal agent in Washington earlier this month. The Associated Press and other outlets reported that a grand jury rejected the felony charge against Sean Charles Dunn. It's unclear if prosecutors will plan to try again.
