Biden reverses controversial DC crime bill.

President Joe Biden has signed into law legislation nullifying the recent overhaul of the District of Columbia criminal code, but House Republicans are promising a season of direct congressional intervention in local D.C. affairs. The D.C. Council withdrew the measure when congressional passage of the measure appeared inevitable and Biden indicated he would sign it. The Oversight Committee has already begun summoning D.C. officials to testify at a hearing on the “general oversight of the District of Columbia, including crime, safety, and city management.”
