Donald Trump has renewed his threats to take back control of Washington D.C. after the assault of Edward Coristine, nicknamed "Big Balls", a 19-year-old former DOGE employee recruited by Elon Musk.
Severely beaten
The latter confirmed the incident on X, stating that Big Balls "was severely beaten" while attempting to rescue a young woman who had been carjacked, before being assaulted by a gang of teenagers.
Two teenagers
Donald Trump also spoke out on Truth Social, sharing a shocking photo of the bloodied DOGE employee. Police reportedly arrested at least two 15-year-olds in connection with the incident.
In a lengthy tirade
In a lengthy tirade, Trump called for 14-year-olds to be prosecuted as adults and commented sharply on the state of crime in Washington D.C.
"take Federal control of the City"
"If D.C. doesn’t get its act together, and quickly, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City, and run this City how it should be run," Donald Trump wrote. He also declared that, in his opinion, crime in the US capital is "totally out of control".
