President Donald Trump says data showing crime decreasing in Washington, D.C., is fake and has a novel way to fix it: releasing his own crime statistics.
The stats showing a huge decline in violent crime and homicide in D.C. last year were put out just the other day by the FBI, which is run by Kash Patel.

How about someone who actually knows about the DC crime problem - unlike the above posters.

I watched that entire interview.
NOWHERE does the former Chief of Police say crime has dramatically increased in D.C.
In fact he doesn't mention incraese in crime in D.C. at all.
The only thing he said relevant to this is D.C. cut their police force from 3800 to 3100 officers, which he thought was not enough officers.
However, the former Chief also pointed out that Trump said 3100 officers is a lot.
