The House Oversight Committee has initiated an investigation into allegations that the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) in Washington, D.C., deliberately manipulated crime statistics. This inquiry follows president Donald Trump’s federal takeover of the D.C. police force. Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) cited whistleblower disclosures claiming that MPD leadership intentionally altered crime data, perhaps undermining the accuracy of public crime reports. the committee has requested documents and interviews with District Commander Michael Pulliam and commanders from all seven patrol districts. The investigation comes after Pulliam was placed on paid administrative leave over accusations of falsifying crime data, which he denies. Despite official statistics showing<\/a> a important drop in violent crime since 2023, questions remain about the completeness and accuracy of these reports. Trump has described the crime data as “phony” and emphasized the ongoing investigation amid efforts to reform law enforcement in the capital.
