Justice Department probes DC police over alleged crime data manipulation
The D.C. federal prosecutor's office is investigating allegations that local police manipulated crime data to create a false sense of safety, amid claims that crime numbers were faked to appear lower, despite official reports showing a 30-year low in violent crime in 2024. Former Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, leading the investigation, and local police union officials have raised concerns about data manipulation, while Trump has publicly accused D.C. officials of falsifying crime statistics to deceive the public.
