A woman who spit on the top federal prosecutor for the nation's capital during a videotaped interview has pleaded guilty to assault charges.

The Justice Department has fired an employee who threw a sub sandwich at a police officer, and charged him with felony assault.

Washington’s violent crime rate still exceeds that of every state by at least 54% and rivals or surpasses many major cities.

The Trump administration has taken steps that have hobbled Washington’s efforts to reduce crime, such as gutting its U.S.

Like the man who was arrested for hurling a sandwich at a federal law enforcement officer in D.C. this week, the spitter immediately confessed.

The law lets Trump control the police department for a month, but how aggressive the federal presence will be and how it could play out remained open questions.
