D.C. Police Chief on What the Chain of Command Is Now: ‘What Does that Mean?’

Reporter: “Tell us what the chain of command is now.”
Smith: “What does that mean?”
Reporter: “Well, is it Pam Bondi speaking to the mayor, speaking to you, or how does this work?”
BOWSER: “So, the executive order is clear. The president has requested MPD services, and our Home Rule Charter outlines the process. The president designated Attorney General Bondi as his proxy to request services through me.”
