#Trump extends federal #takeover of #DC

#Transportation Secy Sean Duffy announced Wednesday that his department is taking management of #UnionStation, the main transportation hub in #Washington, away from #Amtrak, in another example of how the #FederalGovernment is exerting its #power over the nation’s capital.

The #Transportation Secy claimed #UnionStation, located within walking distance of the US Capitol, had “fallen into disrepair” when it should be a “point of pride” for the city.

#Trump said last week he wants $2 billion from #Congress to beautify #Washington as part of his crackdown on the city. Trump has sent thousands of #NationalGuard #troops & federal LEOs into Washington in a bid to fight violent crime he claimed had strangled the city.
