President Donald Trump used a wide-ranging Oval Office news conference to tout a record crackdown on violent crime, praise Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and renew his attacks on Justice Department officials who once investigated him — a mix of security statistics, foreign policy, and political score-settling delivered in a single afternoon.
Trump opened the event, held beneath the chandeliered ceiling of the Oval Office, by calling it “great to be in this beautiful Oval Office.” He quickly pivoted to his central theme — Operation Summer Heat — describing it as “the largest law enforcement operation targeting violent criminals in American history.” “Every American deserves to live in a community where they’re not afraid of being mugged, murdered, robbed, raped, assaulted or shot,” he said.
