This week on Face the Nation, the Trump administration builds up the federal presence in the nation's capital to crack down on crime, as the President vows to use similar tactics in other US cities. The number of national guard troops sent to protect Washington continues to grow as President Trump praises his own plan to clean up the city. But as Mr. Trump dismissed district leaders' claim of a 30-year low in violent crime, he's vowing a similar surge in Chicago, New York, and other cities. What could that mean for public safety in your community? We'll check in with Maryland Democratic Governor Wes Moore and New York Republican Congressman Mike Lawler. Then, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell hints at an interest rate cut, but he also cautions that the U.S. economy is facing challenging times. We get a reality check on Powell's speech and state of the economy from economist Mohamed El Erian.
