Trump administration live updates: National Guard expected to be deployed in D.C. The Bureau of Labor Statistics will release a Consumer Price Index report that is expected to show inflation increased in July.

President Donald Trump said Monday he is placing Washington, DC’s, police department “under direct federal control” and deploying National Guard troops to the nation’s capital, citing a public safety emergency after an assault on a former government worker.

President Donald Trump long had a playbook for deploying the National Guard in D.C. and a week ago had new motivation after a former aide was hurt in an attempted carjacking.
