The Brief House Republicans are voting on four bills Tuesday aimed at cracking down on violent crime in D.C. The four bills voted on are part of a much larger 14-bill package that House Republicans say will build on President Donald Trump’s recent crime emergency in the District. House Republicans on Tuesday unleashed a series of bills that they say will crack down on violent crime in D.C. "House Republicans are going to build on President Trump’s wildly successful crackdown on crime her in the Capitol with four D.C.-specific bills," Johnson said. "There is never justification for Congress to legislate on local D.C. matters," D.C. Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton said.
