2:02:41Now PlayingA press conference is set to begin at 10 a.m. EST regarding crime in the nation's capital.
President Donald Trump shared on Truth Social Saturday that a press conference will be held at the White House that will "essentially stop violent crime in Washington, D.C."
"It will not only involve ending the Crime, Murder, and Death in our Nation’s Capital, but will also be about Cleanliness and the General Physical Renovation and Condition of our once beautiful and well-maintained Capital," Trump posted.
Trump didn’t say who would be present or speaking at the press conference. He also didn’t release details about his claim that the announcement would stop violent crime.
Trump has boosted federal police in D.C. amid crime concerns. The push will last seven days with the option to extend "as needed," under the authority of Trump’s previous executive order establishing the Making DC Safe and Beautiful Task Force.
The president has also suggested that his administration could take full control of the city. Doing so would require a repeal of the Home Rule Act of 1973 in Congress, a step Trump said lawyers are examining — but could face steep pushback.
