8:31Now PlayingZack Smith, senior legal fellow with The Heritage Foundation, and Keya Chatterjee, executive director of "Free D.C.," join “Elizabeth Vargas Reports” to debate President Trump placing D.C. police under federal control. “The things that need to be done are things like stopping mass firings, are making sure people have access to housing. People have access to basic social services that we know reduce crime,” Chatterjee says. “I think one of the frustrations we've heard from so many D.C. residents is that there really seems to be a lack of accountability, particularly for very young juvenile offenders,” Smith responds.
