The New Republic on MSND.C. Gives the Middle Finger to Trump AG Pam Bondi’s Police Power Grab
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb are clapping back a late-night attempt by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to unlawfully usurp the D.C. police chief. Their message: We’ll see you in court, President Trump.
The meeting came after Trump on Monday announced plans to use a 1973 D.C. Home Rule Act provision to send National Guard troops to D.C. and temporarily federalize the city.
The agreement relates to the portion of the order that placed DEA Administrator Terry Cole over D.C. Police Chief Pamela Smith.
