President Donald Trump said early Wednesday that House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune are working with him and other Republican lawmakers on what he described as a “comprehensive crime bill.” The president disclosed the effort in a post dated Aug. 27 and signaled that additional details would be released later. Trump provided no specifics on the contents or timing of the legislation, but framed the initiative as an urgent response to national public-safety concerns. The statement marks the administration’s most explicit confirmation to date that congressional Republican leaders are assembling a broad package on crime policy.
