Mayor Bowser says D.C. is not experiencing a crime spike after President Trump increased federal law enforcement in the city ahead of his announcement on Monday, according to MSNBC.
Bowser spoke on MSNBC’s “The Weekend” show Sunday morning about crime rates in D.C. after he threatened a federal takeover in the past week.
President Trump announced on his social media platform, Truth Social, that he had an announcement to make on Monday where he will “stop violent crime in Washington, D.C.”
“It has become one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the World. It will soon be one of the safest!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter,” the post reads.
When addressing Trump’s concern about crime in the city, Bowser said, “We are not experiencing a crime spike.”
