“President Donald Trump will ask Congress to pass a ‘D.C. security fund’ as part of his push to remake the capital city, a hugely controversial effort that has seen him take over the Metropolitan Police Department and deploy hundreds of National Guard troops and federal law-enforcement officers into Washington neighborhoods,” Punchbowl News reports.
“The composition of the so-called ‘security fund’ is in its infancy. And the White House will face the reality that Congress has to pass government-funding bills at the end of September, with a potential federal shutdown this fall more likely than not at this point.”
When asked about Trump’s proposal, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) had a quick response: “No fucking way.”
