National Guard troops in DC are now armed, defense official says

Maryland Democratic Gov. Wes Moore responded to Trump’s offer to send “troops” to Baltimore to fight crime, saying the president was engaging in “scare tactics.”

Moore last week invited Trump to participate in a public safety walk with Baltimore elected officials and law enforcement next month, but the president instead offered to send troops to “clean up crime.”

“And so, the reason that I've asked the president to come and join us is because he seems to enjoy living in this blissful ignorance, these tropes, in these 1980 scare tactics,” Moore told CBS’ “Face the Nation.”.

“Because while the president is spending his time from the Oval Office making jabs and attacks at us, there are people actually on the ground doing the work who know what supports would actually work to continue to bring down crime. But it's falling on deaf ears of the President United States,” Moore continued.

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott has said that the city needs more federal support when it comes to crime, wanting agents from the FBI, DEA and ATF, but not suggesting anything about the military. Asked if Maryland needs more federal help in policing, Moore said yes and that Trump needs to stop cutting federal funding for it.

“Oh, absolutely. And we need the president to stop cutting funding, because if you look at the president's budget, it actually cuts funding towards violence intervention groups. It cuts funding towards the bureaus of the FBI and the ATF that are supporting local jurisdictions like Baltimore,” Moore said.

Responding to Maryland Gov. Wes Moore’s invitation to join Baltimore officials for a public safety walk, Trump threatened to send “troops” to the city.

“Governor Wes Moore of Maryland has asked, in a rather nasty and provocative tone, that I “walk the streets of Maryland” with him. I assume he is talking about out of control, Crime ridden, Baltimore?,” Trump wrote on his social media platform.

“Wes Moore’s record on Crime is a very bad one, unless he fudges his figures on crime like many of the other “Blue States” are doing. But if Wes Moore needs help, like Gavin Newscum did in L.A., I will send in the “troops,” which is being done in nearby DC, and quickly clean up the Crime,” Trump wrote.

On Thursday, Moore invited the president to join Baltimore officials on a public safety walk next month. In the letter, Moore highlights the action his state has taken to combat crime while also underscoring the federal cuts made by the Trump administration that have impacted the state.

“Even in the face of millions of dollars in cuts to federal funding for violence intervention and gun violence prevention under your administration -- including to programs directly credited with lowering rates of homicide and other violent crimes -- our state and local communities continue to invest in proven strategies that help us build safer, more vibrant neighborhoods,” Moore wrote to Trump.

A federal judge halted the Trump administration's efforts to withhold grant funding from "sanctuary" cities and counties for not cooperating with immigration enforcement.

The 15-page order from Judge William Orrick grants a preliminary injunction in the administration's effort to withhold funds and expands the number of cities that federal funds can't be withheld from due to their "sanctuary" status for undocumented immigrants.

The Trump administration has sought to strip the cities' Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grants due to their lack of cooperation with immigration authorities.

Trump announced on social media Friday that the U.S. "now fully owns and controls 10% of INTEL."

"I negotiated this Deal with Lip-Bu Tan, the Highly Respected Chief Executive Officer of the Company," he posted.

Trump earlier told reporters how the deal came about.

"I said, 'You know what, I think the United States should be given 10% of Intel. And he said, I would consider that. I said, ‘Well, I'd like you to do that because Intel has been left behind’” the president said.

“He walked in wanting to keep his job, and he ended up giving us $10 billion for the United States," the president added.
