President Donald Trump is criticizing Chicago officials after another violent weekend in the city. Police reported multiple shootings that left several people dead and dozens wounded, including a drive-by shooting in the Princeton Park neighborhood that injured 13 people.
Trump said Chicago officials should seek federal assistance, claiming he could significantly reduce crime. The comments came as Trump continues highlighting his efforts to address public safety in Washington, D.C.
Meanwhile, an internal investigation reportedly found that several Metropolitan Police Department officials faced discipline over allegations that serious crimes were improperly reclassified in crime reports. The controversy has raised concerns about crime data, accountability, and public trust in law enforcement.
