Lawmakers are preparing for a forthcoming crime bill from the White House as President Donald Trump continues his efforts to combat crime in Washington, D.C.
On Wednesday, Trump signaled that he would soon send a legislative package to Congress aimed at advancing his administration’s goal of making the district a “beacon” for other blue cities, though he offered few specifics on what the proposal might include.
“We think the Democrats will not do anything to stop crime, but we think the Republicans will do it almost unanimously,” Trump said, according to Fox News. “So we’re going to need a crime bill that we’re going to be putting in, and it’s going to pertain initially to D.C.”
