A look at D.C. crime as Trump and city give competing claims

Season 2025 Episode 231 | 8m 49s

President Trump paints the nation’s capital as a city beset by crime and called in National Guard troops. D.C. leaders contend there is no crisis, pointing to crime rates at 30-year lows. But Charles Lehman of the conservative Manhattan Institute argues neither side is telling the complete truth. Amna Nawaz spoke with Lehman about how both the locals and feds could pursue smarter solutions.
