Anyone have insights into the legality of this? The linked article doesn’t seem to, and doesn’t at first glance appear to jibe with 740..

They will remain until law and order has been restored in the District as determined by the president, standing as the gatekeepers of our great nation's capital, Wilson has called for

Also not a fan of Wikipedia already taking the questionable Bondi claims at face value (that she can appoint a commissioner, essentially)

Terry Cole’s Wikipedia page claiming he is the Interim Federal Commissioner of the DC MPD DC MPD Wikipedia page claiming Terry Cole is part of the command staff

The CNN article doesn’t really address the legality of Trump/Bondi/Cole trying to hijack MPD, either. Articles that take her claims at face value make it easier for her to commandeer a police force… (www.cnn.com/2025/08/14/p...)
