The motivation for Trump's D.C. takeover

Season 2025 Episode 33 | 7m 55s

President Trump is busy at home, seizing control over law enforcement in Washington. Trump says there’s a crime crisis that the city leadership failed to end. But this is not a debate about crime statistics, it's about using Washington to advance the MAGA agenda. A part of that agenda – using the United States military for domestic law enforcement.

Major funding for “Washington Week with The Atlantic” is provided by Consumer Cellular, Otsuka, Kaiser Permanente, the Yuen Foundation, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
