The Trump administration will increase the federal law enforcement presence in Washington, DC, starting Thursday night, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. It comes just days after a well-known former Department of Government Efficiency staffer was assaulted in DC.

The White House announced on Thursday that it will use federal law enforcement officers to help police Washington D.C. The move comes one day after President Donald Trump threatened to take over the city’s police force in response to an attempted hijacking that left one Trump administration staffer injured.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he may use the National Guard to police the streets of Washington, D.C., and a White House official said federal law enforcement would increase its presence in the city this week.
