Trump Says He'll Join D.C. Patrols on Thursday Night
President Trump said during a radio interview that he would join a patrol on the streets of Washington on Thursday night, going out alongside police officers and members of National Guard units who have been deployed to the city as part of his crackdown on the city. It is not clear what time or where in the capital the president might go on his planned patrol, or what his presence would require in terms of logistics, and the White House did not immediately provide details. Even a short drive across town by the president's armored motorcade is generally a tightly planned event; an open-air trip to the streets would most likely require unusually high security. 'I'm going to be going out tonight, I think with the police, and with the military of course,' he said during an interview with Todd Starnes, a conservative talk radio host based in Tennessee. 'We're going to do a job,' Mr. Trump added. Federal law enforcement units, including National Guard members from several states, have come into the city since Mr. Trump last week declared a public safety emergency, allowing him to enlist the city's police in a Justice Department-led effort to combat crime. They have been deployed to some of the city's popular nightlife districts, and also to the capital's tourist areas, including neighborhoods around the White House and Union Station. The forced marriage between local and federal law enforcement officials has caused friction, as the federal officials focus not just on arresting violent criminals, but also devote considerable attention to immigration arrests and dismantling homeless encampments.

Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles defends Jennings settlement, makes the case for reelection
Many candidates describe Charlotte City Council as dysfunctional and lacking in transparency, but as Mayor Vi Lyles seeks a fifth term, she wants to improve that perception. However, she says she's standing by the decision to settle with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Johnny Jennings. The city is paying more than $300,000 to its top cop after Jennings says he was mistreated by former councilmember Tariq Bokhari during the councilman's quest to secure outer carrier vests. PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Charlotte City Council settles with Chief Johnny Jennings The settlement sparked controversy when the city refused to disclose until Jennings made it public under pressure. Channel 9's Joe Bruno sat down with the mayor to talk about the state of the city and her efforts to secure her fifth term this November. Lyles: 'I believe that we treat people fairly. If you know, in our HR programs, and all of the things that we do, that Johnny isn't any different than other people that we've actually had these kinds of contracts with. I just tell you, by the person that he is, is because he gave the media the story, and it wasn't something that we would have done.' Bruno: 'So the city never would have revealed this?' Lyles: 'We'd have to ask a lawyer that, and I'm not a lawyer today.' She's the mayor today and wants to call herself that a year from now. As she campaigns for another term, she is aggressively backing the sales tax increase for transit. She says she also understands public safety needs to be a priority. Bruno: 'How safe do you consider Charlotte?' Lyles: 'I think it all depends on where you live and what you're doing and whether or not we have a program for you at this time.' She says if given another term, she wants to see the city prioritize addressing homelessness. 'I think the housing of the unhoused is one of the things that we have to tackle pretty immediately,' she said. Her fifth term isn't guaranteed. She's facing four challengers in the Democratic primary, but she says her work isn't finished and she's prepared to make the case to voters. Charlotte's city council primaries are Sept. 9.
