AG Pam Bondi suggests Trump's crime crackdown in DC will help Latino residents
President Donald Trump's order to crack down on crime in the nation's capital is "crystal clear," U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi told Fox Noticias host Rachel Campos-Duffy in an exclusive interview Wednesday. "I don't have to tell you about the violent crime that we're seeing every day," Bondi said. "Staffers are shot walking out. Drive-bys are happening in the nation's capital. And no more – it's going to stop." On Monday, Trump federalized the capital city's Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), giving federal agencies supervisory power over the MPD. That same day, a man was fatally shot in Northwest D.C., marking the federal district's 100th homicide this year. Bondi insisted Trump's order aims to help D.C. residents of all ethnicities, including Latinos, who comprise over 10% of D.C.'s population. "President Trump wants to make Washington D.C., our nation's capital, safe for all of us, for Latinos, for all of us who live here," Bondi said. Safety is not the president's only goal, the attorney general added. Trump also wants to make the capital city "clean" and "beautiful again." "All of these buildings are in disarray," she lamented. "We want families to be able to come here and go to our museums, which are free. Go to the Smithsonian, go to the National Gallery, go to the zoo." While "Liberation Day" critics cite MPD statistics to argue D.C.'s crime is at a "30-year low," the department suspended one of its police commanders in May for allegedly falsifying crime numbers in his reports. This scandal is something U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro is "looking into," Bondi revealed. "It's so important," Bondi said. "You can't deflate statistics because people need to know, people need to be safe, and we have all of our federal agencies out there for the last four or five nights." When a reporter similarly asked Pirro about the reported drop in crime rates Tuesday, the former Fox News host did not hold back. "You tell the kid who was just beat the hell and back with a severe concussion and a broken nose, 'Crime is down,'" Pirro said. "No, that falls on deaf ears, and my ears are deaf to that, and that's why I fight the fight." Pirro was the latest member of the Trump administration to cite violent acts of crime that preceded "Liberation Day," including a former DOGE staffer being assaulted and a 21-year-old congressional intern being murdered in the crossfire of a drive-by shooting in June. Pirro's comments came as media critics like Politico argued Trump wants to "cast the city as dangerous," with Democrats like Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker going so far as to compare the president's federal takeover to Nazi Germany. Watch Rachel Campos-Duffy's entire interview with Attorney General Bondi on Fox Noticias.

Woman gunned down in 'safe' DC neighborhood as Trump launches federal police takeover
Amid the Trump administration's sweeping crackdown on crime in the nation's capital, a woman was shot to death in broad daylight in northeast Washington, D.C.—an area most locals consider safe. Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers found a woman who was shot multiple times just after 11 a.m. Wednesday on the 3300 block of 15th Street. D.C. Fire and EMS took the unconscious woman to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead. Homicide detectives are investigating, though no suspects have been identified. President Donald Trump on Monday federalized the MPD under section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, which allows the president to take emergency control of the police force for 30 days. Within hours of the announcement, a man was gunned down in D.C.'s Logan Circle neighborhood, according to a report from local affiliate FOX 5 D.C. The victim, Tymark Wells, 33, was shot multiple times and pronounced dead shortly after the attack, according to the report. Hundreds of National Guard members have been deployed to the city, joining agents from federal law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), U.S. Capitol Police and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). While D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser noted violent crime in the capital is at its lowest level in 30 years, city records show violent crime, including robberies and homicides, skyrocketed post-pandemic. Certain neighborhoods were highlighted as particular concerns, with violent gun crimes from 2022 to 2023 rising by 460% downtown, 240% in Golden Triangle, and 216% in Brightwood, according to D.C. records. Homicides rose 500% in the Southwest/Waterfront and H Street neighborhoods, 400% in Greenway, and 233% in Cardoza/Shaw, records show. Trump said he may later declare a national emergency to extend the crime sweep if Congress does not get on board. "You can't have 30 days," he said during a news conference at the Kennedy Center. "We're going to do this very quickly, but we're going to want extensions. I don't want to call a national emergency, but if I have to, I will."

DC's 100th homicide of year puts popular neighborhood on edge as police hunt for killer
Hours after President Donald Trump announced an unprecedented move to federalize the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), a man was shot and killed Monday evening in a popular Washington, D.C., neighborhood, marking the 100th homicide in the District so far this year. According to the MPD, officers from the Third District responded at approximately 6:56 p.m. on Aug. 11 to reports of gunfire in the 1200 block of 12th Street NW in Logan Circle. They found the victim, later identified as 33-year-old Tymark Wells, of Northwest D.C., unconscious, not breathing and suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. D.C. Fire and EMS transported Wells to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The killing marked the 100th homicide in Washington, D.C., this year and the first since the Trump administration took control of the MPD, according to homicide statistics. Police have not announced any arrests in the case. WATCH: The shooting occurred just blocks from the scenes of two other recent killings: a congressional intern and a former government official, both cited by Trump as examples of violent crime. In announcing the federal takeover of the city's police force, Trump said his administration would take "decisive action" to restore safety in the nation's capital. The Washington, D.C., City Council called the temporary takeover a "manufactured intrusion on local authority." "Violent crime in the District is at the lowest rates we've seen in 30 years. Federalizing the Metropolitan Police Department is unwarranted because there is no Federal emergency," the council said in a joint statement. "Further, the National Guard has no public safety training or knowledge of local laws. The Guard's role does not include investigating or solving crimes in the District. Calling out the National Guard is an unnecessary deployment with no real mission." The MPD is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for Monday's shooting. Anyone with knowledge of the incident is urged to call (202) 727-9099 or text the department's tip line at 50411. Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House and the MPD for comment.
