WASHINGTON, DC - AUGUST 12: The White House is visible as National Guard troops stand next to a military Humvee and take a selfie with visitors along Constitution Avenue on August 12, 2026 in Washington, DC. U.S. President Donald Trump is claiming credit for Washington's dramatic crime decline a year after Trump sent thousands of National Guard troops to the nation's Capitol, but the evidence shows crime was already falling before his federal intervention and the extent to which his policies accelerated that decline remains disputed.
