Season 2025
Episode 223
About the Episode
In an unprecedented move, President Trump has taken over Washington, D.C.'s police department and activated its National Guard. The federal takeover invokes rare, but legal, presidential authorities, but local officials say he’s wrong to say that crime has spiraled out of control. Amna Nawaz discussed the legality behind this action and what this means with Georgetown law professor Steve Vladeck.
