A House Oversight Committee hearing on crime in the District of Columbia was a largely partisan affair, with Democrats attacking President Donald Trump’s federal takeover of Washington and Republicans insisting the executive order brought down crime.

Mayor Muriel Bowser, D.C. Council Chairman Phil Mendelson, D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb, and former White House gun violence prevention deputy director Gregory Jackson Jr. testified before the committee on Thursday, one week after Trump’s federalization of the district’s Metropolitan Police Department expired.
