President Donald Trump said Saturday that he will hold a press availability at the White House next week to address violent crime in Washington, D.C., days after the White House announced it was increasing federal law enforcement across the city.
“On Monday, a Press Conference will be held at the White House, which will, essentially, stop violent crime in Washington, D.C,” he wrote on social media.
Trump, who has frequently criticized the Democratic-led city, claimed that D.C. will “soon be one of the safest cities,” even as data shows that violent crime in the nation’s capital has been decreasing.
Trump this week ramped up his rhetoric about crime in the district, after a former member of the Department of Government Efficiency was assaulted in an attempted carjacking.
“He went through a bad situation, to put it mildly, and there’s too much of it. We’re going to do something about it,” Trump said Wednesday.
