Fox News host Bret Baier pulled over, ticketed amid Trump's DC crackdown
No one seems to be safe amid President Trump's crime crackdown in Washington, D.C. — not even Fox News host Bret Baier, who was caught on video being pulled over by police in the nation's capital. The 'Special Report' host was stopped by a D.C. cop for distracted driving while behind the wheel of a white Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon. The footage, which shows Baier being given a ticket, was captured by real estate firm The Mollaan Babbington Group and shared on Instagram Sunday. 'With Trump's federal takeover of DC in full swing, you can't make this up: I watched even FOX's Bret Baier get pulled over in Georgetown. And for what? I honestly couldn't tell,' read the video's caption. Baier, who has interviewed Trump and occasionally played golf with him, fessed up to the police-involved incident and offered more details on Tuesday. 'I picked up my ringing phone as I drove past an officer while driving my wife's car in Georgetown,' tweeted the 55-year-old New Jersey native. 'He pointed to have me pull over — I did,' he continued. 'He was very professional. I had to dig for the registration card. Got a ticket and left. I didn't know there was paparazzi.' Trump announced last week he wanted to 'liberate' Washington, D.C., and placed the Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control. He also deployed around 800 National Guard troops to 'rescue' D.C. from 'crime, bloodshed, bedlam and squalor.' The controversial overhaul has occurred despite official statistics stating that violent crime in the city has declined in recent years. On Tuesday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced there have been 465 arrests in D.C. since the start of the crackdown on Aug. 7. _____

Fox News' Bret Baier Stopped In G-Wagon By DC Police
Amidst the big law enforcement push in Washington, DC Fox News anchor Bret Baier was stopped in his Mercedes G-Wagon by police. It happened on August 16 in Georgetown as a bystander filmed part of the traffic some are characterizing law enforcement in DC as stopping everyone for no reason, Baier admits he was pulled over for good reason while cruising around the capital city: distracted driving. Taking to X, the journalist admitted the whole thing was his fault: 'I picked up my ringing phone as I drove past an officer while driving my wife's car in Georgetown. He pointed to have me pull over- I did. He was very professional. I had to dig for the registration card. Got a ticket and left. I didn't know there was paparazzi.' We have to say, his wife has excellent taste, if she's the one who picked out the G-Wagon. But we're not wild about those wheels, although the tires are appropriate for those who just cruise around urban areas instead of venturing onto trails. Just like in a lot of other areas, it's illegal to hold your phone while driving in Washington, DC. If someone wants to use a device while cruising around, they have to use the handsfree feature on it, not pick it up like Baier did. The crackdown on crime in the capital was sparked by the beating of Edward Coristine, a former DOGE employee who's affectionately known by a nickname we can't use without being censored. The 21-year-old stepped in to prevent a group of teenagers from carjacking a woman when the teens beat him senseless. President Trump took to social media to voice his displeasure with how rampant crime had become in the nation's capital, which included carjackings. His solution has been to send federal law enforcement flooding into the city in a crime crackdown. According to the DC Police Union, the move has led to an 83 percent drop in carjackings as other crimes have also become far less common than before. The only drawback is with all those cops everywhere, elites like Baier have to watch what they do. Image via _johnnymaga/X, bretbaier/Instagram
