Former Department of Government Efficiency staffer Edward Coristine was allegedly assaulted in an attempted carjacking in Washington, D.C., over the weekend, according to police records obtained by CBS News — an incident that led President Trump to threaten to put the nation's capital under federal control.

An assault on former DOGE worker Edward “Big Ball” Coristine prompted President Trump and Elon Musk to threaten a federal takeover of Washington, D.C.

Trump threatened to impose federal control if local authorities don't act. The Metropolitan Police Department continues to investigate, seeking additional suspects.
