DC Crime and Policing Under Scrutiny in Congress

The chairman of the Washington, D.C. city council testified in Congress that there is no crime crisis in the nation's capital, despite concerns from House Republicans over the city's policing reform bill. The hearing comes just days after a Senate staffer was stabbed by a man recently released from prison. The D.C. council's policing reform bill promotes police accountability, but the D.C. police union opposes it, saying it has had disastrous effects on public safety. The bill is at risk of being overturned by Congress.
