Trump says homeless people must go "far" from the nation's capital, as part of his anti-crime plan, but the mayor pushes back.

President Donald Trump has spent days escalating his rhetoric on crime in Washington, calling the U.S. capital "totally out of control" and ordering a federal law enforcement surge ahead of a Monday press conference to outline a sweeping crackdown.

President Trump announced Monday he was taking federal control of the Washington, D.C., police department and deploying the National Guard in the nation’s capital in an effort to crack down on crime.
