‘This is how severe the manipulation of the crime data has been in the city, and it will all be uncovered and it will all be brought to light’

As President Donald Trump on Monday continued to praise “zero murders” in Washington, D.C., since he sent in the National Guard, his Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is sounding the alarm about a “massive scandal” involving deception in the city’s crime statistics.
“We’ve uncovered [and are] in the process of uncovering a massive scandal in Washington, D.C. with the doctoring of crime stats, and the Department of Justice under the attorney general is leading the effort to uncover this,” Miller said in the Oval Office.
“But when we ultimately share the results, it will stun you the extent to which, even though D.C. had the worst crime in America, honestly measured it dramatically understated how bad it was.”
