Trump to seek 'long-term extensions' of DC police takeover

The presence of National Guard troops in Washington, DC, is expected to expand Wednesday evening, according to a White House official, as President Donald Trump’s takeover of the city’s law enforcement continues to take shape. A “significantly higher” National Guard presence is expected to be on the ground later in the day, the official said. The guard began to appear in the capital city on Tuesday with five armored personnel carriers notably parked near the Washington Monument. #CNN #News
