Trump reveals plan to patrol Washington streets with police and military forces

President Donald Trump is scheduled to conduct a patrol with the Metropolitan Police and the National Guard Thursday, following his efforts to federalize the police department and dispatch troops to crack down on crime in Washington. 

"I’m going to be going out tonight with the police and with the military, of course," Trump said in an interview Thursday with radio host Todd Starnes. 

Trump initially mobilized 800 D.C. National Guard troops as part of his effort to reduce crime in Washington Aug. 11. Since then, National Guard troops from from Ohio, West Virginia, South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee have also been tapped to support the Trump administration’s effort.
