Trump — and the GOP — can do a lot to fight crime in DC

Byron York, Washington Examiner

Crime is decreasing in Washington if you compare it to the highly elevated levels of crime

during the pandemic years. But crime is still a serious, quality-of-life-changing issue in the District. Now, Democrats say, murders in the District are still falling, and therefore Trump and the GOP should not step in. But that might be what Democrats do if Trump and his party try to step up the fight against crime. Also remember — the president has some power, and Congress has complete power, to intervene.
