President Donald Trump threatened Tuesday to have the federal government take control of Washington, D.C., after an assault on a well-known original staffer for the Department of Government Efficiency in the nation's capital over the weekend.
Edward Coristine, also known by his online name, “Big Balls,” and a woman characterized in a police report as his significant other were the victims of an unarmed attempted carjacking early Sunday.
Washington Metropolitan Police on Tuesday announced the arrests of two 15-year-old suspects from Maryland.
The report added that police officers saw about 10 “juveniles” surrounding the car and assaulting Coristine, which prompted the officers to get out of their vehicle and all but two of the juveniles, whom police arrested, to flee. Police said that in an interview, Coristine said he pushed the woman identified as his significant other into the car and “turned to deal with the suspects,” who in turn assaulted him.
