President Donald Trump said Tuesday that his administration will pursue the death penalty for anyone convicted of murder in Washington, D.C. He made the remarks during a televised Cabinet meeting at the White House, calling the measure a "very strong preventative." "If somebody kills somebody in the capital — Washington, D.C. — we're going to be seeking the death penalty," the president told his Cabinet and reporters. Trump did not outline what legal or legislative steps would be necessary to implement the policy, nor did he indicate when it would take effect.
