Evening Edition: DOJ Investigating If The D.C. Police Manipulated Crime Data

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is investigating claims that the Washington, D.C., police department manipulated crime data to publish more favorable stats claiming the city is far more safe than what is being said about it. This, just over a week after President Trump federalized the Metropolitan Police Department to respond to a series of high-profile killings, violent attacks and car-jackings. Federalizing the MPD also included sending hundreds of National Guard members and various federal law enforcement agents from various states to the nation's capital. Fox's John Saucier speaks to David Spunt, Washington D.C. based correspondent for FOX News Channel, who shares the latest on the investigation and the current law enforcement surge in Washington D.C.

Faced with choosing, NYC Mayor Eric Adams nods toward running on ‘Safe and Affordable' ballot line

Mayor Eric Adams appears to be leaning toward selecting 'Safe&Affordable' as his ballot line in November's election as opposed to 'EndAntiSemitism' after New York City's elections board told him late Tuesday he must soon pick one of them. Still, Adams — who has made support for Israel and fighting antisemitism key focuses of his reelection bid — vowed Wednesday to mount a legal challenge to be able to run on both lines. It's unclear if there's enough though time for him to mount such a court case. In a letter sent to Adams late Tuesday, a copy of which was obtained by the Daily News, the BOE wrote he needs to 'inform this Board in writing within five business days of the date of this letter of your choice as to which row or column you wish to have.' If Adams doesn't make a pick by that deadline, Vincent Ignizio, the board's deputy executive director, told The News the panel 'will select for him.' In response, Adams campaign spokesman Todd Shapiro said in a statement Wednesday the mayor 'intends to pursue legal options' to still try and appear on both lines. While he didn't say it outright, Shapiro's statement also suggested 'Safe&Affordable' is Adams' likely selection if it turns out he has to select one. 'At the same time, voters can be confident that Mayor Adams will appear on the Safe and Affordable ballot line in all five boroughs — ensuring millions of New Yorkers will have their voices heard at the polls,' the statement said. The Board of Elections has for months told Adams to select a single ballot line, maintaining that state law holds independent candidates can only run on one. In response, Adams has for months said he would challenge that determination in court. He has yet to file any court case, though. Adams, who's facing an uphill climb in the mayoral election running as an independent candidate, collected enough petition signatures to qualify for both lines. Still reeling from political fallout over his federal corruption indictment, Adams' reelection effort is seen as a long shot. He's polling far behind Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, the favorite to win November's election. _____
