President Donald Trump and his allies in congress are working to establish his grip in Washington, DC

One of the leaders of the leading leaders told Tuesday that Republicans in the House of Representatives are working with the White House on a group of bills “to fix many problems in the governance of the capital and crime.”

Trump confirmed all this efforts in a social position late at night in midnight on Wednesday, saying that the leaders of the House of Representatives and the Senate “are working with me and other Republicans, in a bill for comprehensive crime.”

“This is what our country needs, and now! More to follow,” Trump’s publication.

Meanwhile, the Republican Party’s allies in the House of Representatives are working on various measures to extend the president’s grip on the Capital Police, which told another source of Fox News Digital that the White House was following it.

According to the 1973 Colombia County Act, which, among other measures, established a local government for the nation’s capital, allowed the president to bring the Capital Police Force for 48 hours, although it could extend to 30 days by notifying the committees in the relevant Congress.

Any period must be declared through a decision issued in the House of Representatives and the Senate – many of them have already been presented while legislators have returned to their home land for the annual August holiday.

The law does not limit the period in which Trump can deploy federal forces in the capital, however – which he also did.

MP Andy Oujlis, RR Tin. , The first to announce that he was working on a draft law “to amend the law of the capital base, so that the president could extend this emergency as long as it takes, until the Capitol and its streets are safe” on August 13.

Fox News Digital told Tuesday that the Republican Party leadership in the House of Representatives was positive about its bill.

“I sent him to [House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La.] After we formulated it, Oujlis said. Obviously, I will pray for me, but … all that keeps people safe. “

Ogles pointed out that its bill, while getting rid of the maximum of 30 days, also requires the White House to notify Congress every 30 days from the basis of continuing the federation of the Capital Police because “we still have a constitution that we need to adhere to.”

The Scalise office did not treat the Ogles invoice when accessed by Fox News Digital.

Others, such as actors Anna Polina Luna, R Flores, and Andy Bigz, R. Aric, presented similar bills.

“I think there is a lot of support for Fituri, or a copy of it,” Luna told Fox News Digital. “The truth is, as you know, we have a home rule. It is good in our right and our authority. Frankly, we do not only do that, but also for actual civilians in the Washington DC.”

The Luna Bill, such as Ogles’, would expand Trump’s ability to update the capital police for a long time, as the president sees it necessary.

The Biggs Bill will expand Trump’s grip on the Capital Police for a period of six months.

Since the capital is a federal area, not in the state, the Congress and the federal government are able to exercise large amounts of control over different aspects of how to run it.

The White House and Trump’s allies have described a significant decrease in murders in the capital since Trump took over the city’s police, noting that other American cities can soon see the federal government intervention to deal with the crime as well.

The opponents of this step, to a large extent, accused the Democrats, the Trump administration of tearing autonomy away from those who live in the country’s capital.

“The efforts to address some of the main reasons for the problem of the capital’s crime will be the subject of the continuous focus of the administration, as well as other issues, such as maintenance, transportation and beauty,” a White House official told Fox News Digital when he was asked for more information.

“This includes working with all levels of the government, the executive branch, the legislative branch and Washington, DC, to ensure that the capital of the greatest country on the face of the earth is the envy of the world,” the official said.
