It remains unclear how far the investigation into #MurielBowser, a #Democrat who has served as #Washington’s mayor since 2015, has advanced since it was opened. But people familiar with the inquiry said it was based on potential violations of bribery or campaign finance laws. A spox for the #USattorney’s office declined to comment.

The #PublicCorruption unit inside the prosecutors’ office that would typically be responsible for pushing the case forward has also been badly damaged by a series of dismissals & resignations stemming from Trump’s efforts to seek #revenge against #DOJ ofcls & his perceived enemies.

It started with this...
March 2025, ‘More than brick and mortar:' DC begins removing ‘Black Lives Matter’ plaza near the White House
By ASHRAF KHALIL and JACQUELYN MARTIN
Updated 5:57 PM EDT, March 10, 2025WASHINGTON (AP) — "Starlette Thomas remembers coming down almost daily to the intersection of 16th and H streets, to protest police brutality and systemic racial iniquities during the summer of 2020.
"On Monday, the 45-year old Bowie, Maryland resident returned to the site of those protests to mourn the end of Black Lives Matter Plaza.
" 'I needed to be here today. I can’t just let this go away,' Thomas said, as jackhammers began tearing into the giant yellow letters in the street. Thomas discretely secured a chunk of pavement and said holding it made her feel conflicted.
" 'To walk away with a piece of that, it means it’s not gone,' she said. 'It’s more than brick and mortar.'
"Crews started work Monday to remove the large yellow '#BlackLivesMatter' painted on the street one block from the White House. D.C. Mayor #MurielBowser announced the change last week in response to pressure from Republicans in Congress. The work is expected to take about six weeks and the words will be replaced by an unspecified set of city-sponsored murals.
"The painting of those words was an act of government-sponsored defiance during President Donald Trump’s first term. The removal amounts to a public acknowledgement of just how vulnerable the District of Columbia is now that Trump is back in the White House and Republicans control both houses of Congress.
"Bowser, a Democrat, ordered the painting and renamed the intersection #BlackLivesMatterPlaza in June 2020. It came after days of chaotic protests at that location following the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer; Bowser had clashed with #Trump over her handling of the protests.
"But now Bowser has little power to fend off encroachments on D.C.'s limited autonomy. Bowser said last week on X that, 'The mural inspired millions of people and helped our city through a painful period, but now we can’t afford to be distracted by meaningless congressional interference. The devastating impacts of the federal job cuts must be our number one concern.' "

#Trump signs executive orders aimed at ending #CashlessBail in D.C. and across the country
The move is Trump's latest effort to reshape how the capital operates.
Aug. 25, 2025, 8:29 AM EDT / Updated Aug. 25, 2025, 11:04 AM EDT
By Yamiche Alcindor and Megan LebowitzWASHINGTON — "President Donald Trump signed executive orders Monday aimed at eliminating cashless bail for suspects arrested in #WashingtonDC, and in other jurisdictions around the country with similar policies, according to fact sheets describing the executive orders the White House provided to NBC News.
"The executive order on D.C. directs the administration to take certain actions if the city does not change its cashless bail policy, including '#FederalFunding decisions, services, or approvals,' according to the fact sheet. Attorney General #PamBondi, too, could get involved, though the fact sheet did not detail what actions she might take.
"The order on D.C., first reported by Axios, also asks law enforcement officials to work to ensure that people arrested in the city are taken into federal custody 'to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law,' the fact sheet said.
"In the federal custody system, eligible defendants can be released before trial if they meet certain requirements, which can include putting up collateral bonds or fulfilling certain nonfinancial requirements, like #PersonalRecognizance.
"The executive order aimed at other cities across the country directs the administration to find #FederalFunds that could be 'suspended or terminated' in jurisdictions that have cashless bail policies, the fact sheet said.
"A spokesperson for Mayor #MurielBowser’s office would not comment."

#Trump Plans “Long-Term” Takeover of #WashingtonDC, Police Department
Aug 14, 2025"As the #NationalGuard expands its presence in Washington, D.C., President Trump says he will seek a long-term
"President Donald Trump: 'We’re going to need a crime bill that we’re going to be putting in, and it’s going to pertain initially to D.C. It’s almost — we’re going to use it as a very positive example. And we’re going to be asking for extensions on that, long-term extensions, because you can’t have 30 days. Thirty days is — that’s — by the time you do it — we’re going to have this in good shape.'
"Earlier this week, Trump declared a crime emergency in D.C. and federalized the police force, even though violent crime in the city is at a 30-year low. Washington, D.C., Mayor #MurielBowser has denounced Trump’s police takeover as an '#authoritarian push.'
"Meanwhile, a 37-year-old man in Washington, D.C., has been charged with assaulting a federal officer after he threw a sandwich from a Subway shop at a Customs and Border Protection officer. Video has gone viral of the man, who can be heard screaming '#fascists' and 'shame' at the federal officers."

#Trump's #takeover of #WashingtonDC law enforcement begins as #NationalGuard troops arrive
ASHRAF KHALIL and LINDSAY WHITEHURST, Tue, August 12, 2025
WASHINGTON (AP) — "The new picture of law enforcement in the nation’s capital began taking shape Tuesday as some of the 800 National Guard members deployed by the Trump administration began arriving. The city’s police and federal officials, projecting cooperation, took the first steps in an uneasy partnership to reduce crime in what President Trump called — without substantiation — a lawless city.
"The influx came the morning after the Republican president announced he would be activating the guard members and taking over the District's police department, something the law allows him to do temporarily. He cited a crime emergency — but referred to the same crime that city officials stress is already falling noticeably.
"Mayor #MurielBowser pledged to work alongside the federal officials Trump has tasked with overseeing the city's law enforcement, while insisting the police chief remained in charge of the department and its officers.
" 'How we got here or what we think about the circumstances — right now we have more police, and we want to make sure we use them,' she told reporters.
"The tone was a shift from the day before, when Bowser said Trump's plan to take over the Metropolitan Police Department and call in the National Guard was not a productive step and argued his perceived state of emergency simply doesn’t match the declining crime numbers. Still, the law gives the federal government more sway over the capital city than in U.S. states, and Bowser said her administration's ability to push back is limited."

Still, #DC officials, who had been working for months to coordinate with the White House, were caught by surprise by Trump’s announcement, said #MurielBowser, who at a news conference described pleading her case to #Trump personally. In their first meeting after Trump took office the second time, she said, they spoke about the #city’s improved efforts in combating #crime.

But in the first few months, the relationship between #Trump & DC Mayor #MurielBowser (D) was surprisingly strong. He complained about some of the #homeless encampments near the E Street Expressway leading to the White House & State Dept, & she promptly responded. She had the city paint over the bright yellow letters spelling out the words #BlackLivesMatter that she had ordered painted on the ground just steps from the White House during his first term, another act that earned her good will.

"I did not know that the request of #MPD (Metropolitan Police Department) would be made," Mayor #MurielBowser told reporters.
"I believed that they would announce that they were going to call up the #NationalGuard, I had a one brief phone call related to the National Guard issue over the weekend."
