That kind of #oversight would typically be provided by the agency’s career #information #security professionals, Borges said in his account.

#DCAG Schwalb said that #Trump’s assertion of total control & #PamBondi’s attempt to rewrite #MPD policy are entirely outside of the bounds of temporarily using local law enforcement for a “federal purpose." He also argued that the actions violated the District clause of the #Constitution, which gives #Congress ultimate #authority & #oversight of the capital & its laws, & Congress’s #HomeRule Act intended to narrowly limit the president’s authority & gave the mayor authority over #police.
