WASHINGTON, D.C.– I commend District of Columbia AG Schwalb for successfully bringing a lawsuit to fight back against Trump’s overreach in seizing control of the Metropolitan Police Department. Thanks to these efforts, DC will maintain control of its police force in accordance with the law and MPD can continue its work keeping DC safe.
