President Donald Trump, when confronted with data showing crime here already declining before he took over the city's police force, has repeatedly dismissed the data as fake and manipulated. But with the same agency now reporting continued drops in crime, his White House is eager to tout data it once derided as untrustworthy.
In defense of President Trump's decision to deploy National Guard troops in the nation's capital, the White House has put out a "fact sheet" of scary statistics on crime in Washington, DC. It's about what you'd expect: a bunch of brazen, lazy, easily disproven garbage.
