Crime

Congressman Brad Knott, R-NC13, joined members of the Republican Study Committee in Washington on Tuesday to spotlight President Donald Trump’s push to crack down on crime in the nation’s capital. 

Knott, who spent time as a federal prosecutor before becoming a member of Congress, spoke about the importance of law and order. 

In January, a 14-year-old was shot and killed by a group of his peers in Southwest Washington, D.C. Just weeks later, an elderly man was chased through traffic by a knife-wielding attacker in broad daylight.
