Trump's Justice Department investigates DC police for crime data falsification

The Justice Department is investigating whether D.C. police officials falsified crime data. This probe is part of a growing conflict between the Trump administration and the city regarding police management. Details on potential federal law violations remain unclear.

The mayor's office has not commented on the investigation. Earlier this year, a police commander suspected of manipulating crime data was placed on paid administrative leave. The New York Times first reported on this investigation, which raises concerns about transparency and accountability in law enforcement.
