DC mayor fires back at House Oversight Committee over 'politically motivated' crime statistics report
Fox News
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser defends MPD Chief Pamela Smith amid House investigation into alleged crime statistics manipulation.
Ashley Carnahan is a writer at Fox News Digital.
"Since the outset, my Administration has fully cooperated with the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform (Committee) investigation into allegations concerning publicly reported crime statistics by the District of Columbia's Metropolitan Police Department," Bowser said in part.
"That cooperation was intended to educate the Committee about the complex subject of crime reporting, address the public misrepresentations about crime in the nation's capital, and identify policies and processes that could be improved to ensure transparent, high-quality crime data. The Committee's interim report is a disappointing rejection of that good faith approach and instead reflects a rush to judgement in order to serve a politically motivated timeline and release a report whose outcome appears to have been determined before the investigation began."
