Pam Bondi: Trump wants DC safe for everyone

Attorney General Pam Bondi opens up about the Trump administration's efforts to stop crime on Fox Noticias.

President Donald Trump’s order to crack down on crime in the nation’s capital is "crystal clear," U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi told Fox Noticias host Rachel Campos-Duffy in an exclusive interview Wednesday. 

"I don't have to tell you about the violent crime that we're seeing every day," Bondi said. "Staffers are shot walking out. Drive-bys are happening in the nation's capital. And no more – it's going to stop."

On Monday, Trump federalized the capital city’s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), giving federal agencies supervisory power over the MPD. That same day, a man was fatally shot in Northwest D.C., marking the federal district’s 100th homicide this year. 

Bondi insisted Trump’s order aims to help D.C. residents of all ethnicities, including Latinos, who comprise over 10% of D.C.’s population.
