Legislators are preparing for a Blank House Crime Bill while the repression of President Donald Trump against crime at Washington DC Marche.

Trump hinted that he would send a package to the congress in the near future Wednesday for the continuous pressure of his administration to make the district a “lighthouse” for other blue cities, but gave few details on what he wanted to see in the legislation.

“We believe that Democrats will do nothing to stop crime, but we believe that the Republicans will do so almost unanimously,” said Trump. “We will therefore need a bill on crime that we are going to set up, and it will be initially related to DC”

He also noted that “we are going to seek a relatively low sum of money” to repair the nests-de-poule and generally embellish the district.

Shortly after Trump’s announcement, the senator Lindsey GrahamRS.C. said that he had spoken with the president, the Attorney General Pam Bondi and the White House staff on “How Congress can help make security again at Washington DC”.

“In the direction of President Trump,” said Bondi in a statement at Fox News Digital. “This Ministry of Justice will continue to work with the MPD, the federal police and the congress to fight against the scourge of violent crimes in Washington, DC and ensure the security of all Americans to visit or live in the capital of our country.”

Graham noted that the White House was working on a package to send him and senator Katie Britt, R-Ala., The president of the sub-comity of internal security credits.

“Together, we will try to direct the DC Security Fund by the Congress to give the Presidency Trump the resources he will need to improve the security and quality of life of our country,” said Graham on X. “Each American should be behind this effort to make Washington DC clean and safe so that it can really become the brilliant city on the hill.”

It is not clear that the package would be part of a bill or would be its own additional autonomous financing package, and when the legislators put their hands on a request, it is also in the air.

The White House referred to Fox News Digital to the President’s previous comments on the bill.

Legislators should only return to Washington after the Labor Day and will be respected immediately by the Quick Deadline to finance the government on September 30.

They will also have to face a planned request from Trump to extend his DC police control – the president has only 30 days unless the congress grants him an extension with a joint resolution.

Republicans largely support its access more time to suppress crime in the Capitol, but a joint resolution probably requires 60 votes to the Senate, and the Senate Democrats report that they will not move and allow Trump to consolidate his grip on Washington more.

However, Trump suggested that he would trigger a national emergency declaration to bypass the congress, some of which have been supported.
