President Donald Trump ordered police to increase their presence in the District of Columbia after an attack on a Department of Government Efficiency staffer.
“President Trump has directed an increased presence of federal law enforcement to protect innocent citizens,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement Thursday.
A group of teenagers allegedly assaulted a DOGE staffer, 19-year-old Edward Coristine, early Sunday after attempting to carjack him and a woman.
Leavitt said the nation’s capital has been “plagued by violent crime for far too long.”
