D.C. Mayor SUES Trump Administration for UNLAWFUL Takeover of Police Department - Glenn Kirschner
Donald Trump has unlawfully and unconstitutionally attempted to seize complete control of the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police Department (MPD). And Pam Bondi has tried to push the highly-regarded MPD Chief of Police Pamela Smith out of her job and install a Trump flunky named Terry Cole. Is it any surprise that the Trump administration is trying to push out a black female police chief and install a mediocre white guy?
This video reviews this recent legal development and reviews the applicable law, showing that Trump's conduct is unlawful. - Glenn Kirschner - 08/15/2025.
