Trump weighing National Guard deployment to DC: Report

President Donald Trump is considering deploying up to 1,000 National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., according to a report.

An NBC4 report on Sunday night revealed that the deployment, which Trump teased earlier this week amid his promised crackdown on “violent crime” in Washington, could be announced as soon as Monday. One defense official and two other U.S. officials added that most of those troops would likely be pulled from the DC National Guard.
