D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb (D) filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump on Friday after the administration placed the head of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) over the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD).

DC Attorney General Brian Schwalb filed a lawsuit Friday against the Trump administration over its moves to take over the city’s police department and appoint an emergency commissioner, the latest sign of pushback from district officials against the federal takeover.

D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb late Thursday called a federal directive naming the head of the Drug Enforcement Administration as Washington’s "emergency police commissioner" unlawful and unenforceable.
