President Donald Trump’s order to crack down on crime in the nation’s capital is "crystal clear," U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi told Fox Noticias host Rachel Campos-Duffy in an exclusive interview Wednesday. 

"I don't have to tell you about the violent crime that we're seeing every day," Bondi said. "Staffers are shot walking out. Drive-bys are happening in the nation's capital. And no more – it's going to stop."

On Monday, Trump federalized the capital city’s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), giving federal agencies supervisory power over the MPD. That same day, a man was fatally shot in Northwest D.C., marking the federal district’s 100th homicide this year. 

Bondi insisted Trump’s order aims to help D.C. residents of all ethnicities, including Latinos, who comprise over 10% of D.C.’s population.

"President Trump wants to make Washington D.C., our nation's capital, safe for all of us, for Latinos, for all of us who live here," Bondi said.

Safety is not the president’s only goal, the attorney general added. Trump also wants to make the capital city "clean" and "beautiful again."

"All of these buildings are in disarray," she lamented. "We want families to be able to come here and go to our museums, which are free. Go to the Smithsonian, go to the National Gallery, go to the zoo."

While "Liberation Day" critics cite MPD statistics to argue D.C.’s crime is at a "30-year low," the department suspended one of its police commanders in May for allegedly falsifying crime numbers in his reports.

This scandal is something U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro is "looking into," Bondi revealed. 

"It's so important," Bondi said. "You can't deflate statistics because people need to know, people need to be safe, and we have all of our federal agencies out there for the last four or five nights."

When a reporter similarly asked Pirro about the reported drop in crime rates Tuesday, the former Fox News host did not hold back.

"You tell the kid who was just beat the hell and back with a severe concussion and a broken nose, ‘Crime is down,’" Pirro said. "No, that falls on deaf ears, and my ears are deaf to that, and that's why I fight the fight."

Pirro was the latest member of the Trump administration to cite violent acts of crime that preceded "Liberation Day," including a former DOGE staffer being assaulted and a 21-year-old congressional intern being murdered in the crossfire of a drive-by shooting in June.

Pirro’s comments came as media critics like Politico argued Trump wants to "cast the city as dangerous," with Democrats like Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker going so far as to compare the president's federal takeover to Nazi Germany.

Former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke remarked how he "can only imagine the history books" that will be written about the people of 2025, and likened it to 1933 Germany on Wednesday.

The Democrat appeared with Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., on the governor's podcast "This is Gavin Newsom," where he commented on Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton investigating his Powered by People PAC for allegedly violating the law by assisting Texas state Democrats' travel out of the state to avoid a quorum during a redistricting standoff.

O’Rourke lauded the efforts of the Texas Democrats, calling them some of the "very last lines of defense" of democracy. 

By contrast, he predicted Republicans, and by extension, the Trump administration, would be remembered similarly to the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany.

"I can only imagine the history books written 100 years from now looking at the people of 2025," O’Rourke said. "It's the way, you know, you and I when we were in school, we're looking at the people in Germany in 1933. That guy's named chancellor in January of that year. In 53 days, he has destroyed German democracy." 

He continued, "The parliament or the congress, their legislature, passed these enabling laws just like the Republicans are doing in Congress today that said anything you want, you go out and do it. And he goes from being this buffoonish, clownish thug who can barely hold power to the undisputed master and dictator of the German people. And I know this s--- doesn't repeat, but it sure as hell rhymes."

O’Rourke has frequently compared President Donald Trump and his administration to Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. In 2019, O’Rourke attacked Trump’s family separation policy at the border and accused him of calling all immigrants an "infestation."

"Now, I might expect someone to describe another human being as an infestation in the Third Reich. I would not expect it in the United States of America," O’Rourke said.

He defended his comments days later saying, "Calling human beings an infestation is something that we might've expected to hear in Nazi Germany... Describing immigrants — who have a track record of committing violent crimes at a lower rate than native-born Americans — as rapists and criminals. Seeking to ban all Muslims — all people of one religion — what other country on the face of the planet does that kind of thing?"

In 2021, O'Rourke also warned the U.S. could become Nazi Germany within 10 years despite Trump losing the 2020 election.

Fox News Digital broke the news earlier that day that Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, has called for the Justice Department to also investigate O’Rourke’s PAC for potentially violating the law by raising funds for Texas Democrats fleeing the state.
