US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he is working with House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, both Republicans, on a “comprehensive crime bill.” Trump announced the effort in a late-night Truth Social post, describing the legislation as something the country “needs now,” but did not release any details of its scope or timing. The initiative comes as the White House intensifies its anti-crime strategy. Earlier this month Trump took direct control of the Washington, D.C., police force and authorized National Guard troops to carry weapons while patrolling the city. He has also threatened to deploy military personnel to other Democrat-led cities such as Baltimore and Chicago and directed the Defense Department to ensure each state has Guard units ready to respond quickly to civil disturbances. Congressional Republican leaders have not yet outlined the contents of the proposed bill or a legislative timetable, and Democrats have not responded publicly. Trump indicated that further information would be provided in the coming days.
