Top House Republican says Trump 'rightly' took over DC police, demands black criminal Bowser, others testify on crime

A House panel demanded a slate of Washington, D.C., officials, including 
Mayor Muriel Bowser, testify on crime in the district just hours after 
President Donald Trump announced federal intervention in the city.

The House Oversight Committee announced Monday that it would call in 
Bowser, Washington, D.C., Attorney General Brian Schwalb and Washington, 
D.C., Council Chair Phil Mendelson to testify before the Republican-led 
panel.

TRUMP ACTIVATES NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS TO ADDRESS ‘TOTALLY OUT OF 
CONTROL’ CRIME IN WASHINGTON

News of the hearing, which is expected to be held in September when 
lawmakers return from their month-long break from Washington, comes 
after Trump announced that he would place the Washington, D.C., police 
department under federal control and deploy the National Guard in the 
district.

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., lauded the president 
for "rightly using executive power to take bold and necessary action to 
crack down on crime and restore law and order in Washington, D.C."

"Protecting all Americans and tackling crime are core conservative 
policy priorities, and today’s actions by the Trump administration mark 
another promise kept," Comer said in a statement.

However, crime in the district is on the decline. Violent crime is down 
26% this year, compared to the same timeframe in 2024, according to 
Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department. Assaults with a dangerous 
weapon are down 20%, and homicides are down by 12%.

It's declining because the black Democrats in charge changed what is a 
crime and what isn't.  If it's not a crime, it doesn't get prosecuted or 
reported.

Black Democrats are nothing but criminals.
