"SHERWOOD: Under the limited home rule, there's a provision that allows the president, with a stroke of a pen, to take over the D.C. Police Department for at least 48 hours and
then longer if the House and Senate agree.
MARTIN: Wait a minute. He could take over the D.C. Police Department. Could he do that by executive order?
SHERWOOD: Yes, according to the Home Rule Act that says in an emergency, the president of the United States can direct the mayor of the District of Columbia to
have the police do whatever the president wants.
And they can do that for 48 hours. He's criticized urban governments from New York to San Francisco. But the District of Columbia is the only place where he has a direct hand in what he can do on crime fighting. But there's another one bigger than crime even.
MARTIN: What is that?
SHERWOOD: The district has no restrictions on abortion. So the president has said he will not seek a national ban on abortion. But in the District of Columbia,
the Congress under the Republicans and the president can ban abortion."
"a previous interview with former Trump White House strategist Steve Bannon, Patel said he would
target judges, lawyers, and journalists
for investigating Trump and claiming they had a role in robbing Trump of victory in 2020.
“We will go out and find the conspirators, not just in government but in the media,” Patel said in the interview.
“Yes, we’re going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens, who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections.”
