DC Mayor Backtracks on Trump Intervention, Downplays City Crime Spike After Federal Takeover

Washington, D.C.'s mayor struck a dramatically different tune Tuesday regarding President Donald Trump's federalization of the city's police force, diverging from her original response to the matter. The DC mayor now downplays the city crime issue and reverses course on Trump's intervention. The change in stance is seen as a shift in strategy for the city's leaders amid growing concerns over public safety.
