The Trump administration is scaling back its plan to take control of the police department in Washington, DC, after a federal judge pushed both sides to temporarily resolve their differences. Initially, Attorney General Pam Bondi had ordered that the head of the Drug Enforcement Administration, Terry Cole, would effectively run the Metropolitan Police Department. But following a lawsuit from DC Attorney General Brian Schwalb and a judge’s intervention, Bondi revised her directive on Friday: Cole will now serve only as a liaison, rather than as an emergency police commissioner, reports the Wall Street Journal.
