This announcement follows an incident where a staffer from the Department of General Services (DOGE) was attacked by several juveniles, sparking heightened concerns from Trump about the city&#8217;s safety. He has suggested the possibility of the federal government intervening in D.C.&#8217;s local affairs, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >including potentially taking control<\/a> over the Metropolitan Police-a significant departure from the current governance structure where the city&#8217;s mayor and council oversee local matters. Trump has criticized the city&#8217;s issues like crime, graffiti, and infrastructure decline, and hinted at deploying the National guard to help restore order. despite these concerns, FEMA recently announced a reduction in urban security funding for D.C. The press conference is expected to outline the management&#8217;s plans to improve safety and order in the capital.  <\/p>\n<div id=\"ld-4686-3758\"><\/div>\n<p><script>(function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:14832835450050406,size:[0, 0],id:\"ld-4686-3758\"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.decide.dev\/_js\/ajs.js\";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,\"script\",\"ld-ajs\");<\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump teases Monday press conference that will &lsquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/after-defunding-the-police-nyc-first-lady-pleads-for-citizens-to-intervene-in-violent-crimes-as-assaults-spike\/\" title=\"After \u2018Defunding The Police,\u2019 NYC First Lady Pleads For Citizens To Intervene In Violent ...s As Assaults Spike\">stop violent crime<\/a>&rsquo; in DC<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2200295\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Donald Trump\">Donald Trump<\/a> said a Monday press conference would &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/daily-memo\/3494607\/trump-gop-can-do-a-lot-to-fight-crime-in-dc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Donald Trump\">stop violent crime<\/a>&rdquo; in Washington, D.C., hinting at a decision to intervene in the city&rsquo;s affairs.<\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration has been in uproar after a DOGE staffer was jumped by several juveniles last week.
