WASHINGTON -- Trump says the federal government should 'take over' the District of Columbia, backing GOP push in Congress.
The article discusses former President Donald Trump's support for a Republican-led initiative to reduce the size of the federal government's presence in Washington, D.C. This push comes in response to local governance issues, particularly after the D.C. Council passed a controversial criminal code revision that was later overturned by Congress. Trump's backing is part of a broader GOP strategy to challenge the city's management, with suggestions including moving federal agencies out of D.C. to other states, thereby reducing the city's influence and addressing what some Republicans see as mismanagement and crime issues. This initiative reflects ongoing tensions between federal oversight and local D.C. governance, with Trump and other Republicans advocating for significant changes to how the district operates.
