President Donald Trump said a Monday press conference would “stop violent crime” in Washington, D.C., hinting at a decision to intervene in the city’s affairs.

The Trump administration has been in uproar after a DOGE staffer was jumped by several juveniles last week. After pictures of the bloodied staffer were broadcast, Trump ramped up his threats to strip the capital of home rule, a possibility he floated during his campaign. In a Saturday Truth Social post, the president hinted at such a move, which would be announced at a Monday press conference.
