YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThere are 800 National Guard troops on duty now to carry out President Trump's order to address crime in the Washington, D.C. But is there a big emergency? Local leaders say crime rates are the lowest they've been in 30 years.
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser says "This year, crime isn’t just down from 2023, it’s also down from 2019 before the pandemic, and we’re at a 30-year violent crime low,"
Meanwhile, Attorney General Pam Bondi is in control of the police in D.C.
We welcome Pulitzer Prize winning author David Cay Johnston to talk about the Trump-Epstein connection, the latest National Guard deployment and much more.
