1:48Now PlayingPresident Trump again threatened Tuesday to bring the District of Columbia under federal control due to “out of control” crime in the nation’s capital. "Either they're going to straighten their act out in the terms of government and in terms of protection, or we're going to have to federalize and run it the way it's supposed to be run," Trump said to reporters. Former Trump ally Elon Musk said on X that a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) employee had rushed to help a woman who was in danger of being assaulted in her car — only to be beat up by the gang of teenagers himself.
