Trump threatens full 'Federal takeover' in DC, accuses mayor of peddling 'inaccurate crime figures'

"Mayor Muriel Bowser must immediately stop giving false and highly inaccurate crime figures, or bad things will happen, including a complete and total Federal takeover of the City! Washington D.C. will soon be great again!!!" he added.

Fox News Digital reached out to the mayor's office early on Friday morning to request a comment from Bowser.

Last week he issued an order directing the mayor "provide the services of the Metropolitan Police force for Federal purposes" and issued a memorandum directing the Defense Secretary "to mobilize the District of Columbia National Guard and order members to active service" to tackle the city's crime problem.
