Crime Data Manipulation in Washington, D.C.
Investigations by the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the House Oversight Committee revealed that crime statistics were deliberately misclassified by the Metropolitan Police Department.
The outgoing police chief, Pamela Smith, allegedly pressured commanders to report lower crime figures, downgrade serious offenses, and even retaliated against those who tried to report accurate data.
These actions created a “culture of fear” within the department, undermining public trust. While the conduct did not lead to criminal charges, it raised serious concerns about transparency and governance.


Fentanyl Classified as a Weapon of Mass Destruction
Former President Trump signed an executive order categorizing fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction, citing its catastrophic impact on American lives.
The order frames fentanyl as a national security threat, aligning it with nuclear and chemical weapons, and authorizes expanded measures against drug cartels.
This initiative is part of a broader military and policy campaign targeting narcotics trafficking, including naval operations and sanctions against Venezuela’s leadership accused of narco-terrorism.
