President Donald Trump on Tuesday said all murder prosecutions in Washington should be capital punishment cases.
“Anybody murders something in the capital, capital punishment … If somebody kills somebody in the capital, Washington, D.C., we’re going to be seeking the death penalty,” Trump told reporters as his Cabinet gathered at the White House.
“I don’t know if we’re ready for it in this country, but we have it is — we have no choice. So in D.C., in Washington — states are going to have to make their own decision — but if somebody kills somebody … it’s the death penalty, okay?” Trump added.
Washington does not currently have a death penalty. The D.C. City Council repealed it decades ago.
