Muriel Bowser, mayor of Washington, D.C., says she has reached out to Attorney General Pam Bondi and hopes to hold a meeting soon.

Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser held a press conference Monday following President Donald Trump’s announcement that he’s taking over Washington’s police department and activating 800 members of the National Guard in the hopes of reducing crime and tackling homelessness in the city.

Bowser said it is true the city underwent a “crime spike” following the COVID-19 pandemic but argued a “huge decrease” in crime has occurred since.
