Scalise hints GOP may push nationwide crime crackdown after DC overhaul

EXCLUSIVE: House Republicans are having early talks about cracking down on crime nationwide, the No. 2 GOP lawmaker suggested on Tuesday.

"There are discussions about addressing some of these problems at a more federal level, but right now, we're focused on D.C.," House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., told Fox News Digital.

"The president's been very effectively reducing crime in D.C., and he's got some limitations right now with a lot of these ordinances, and that's what we're focused on cleaning up."

He added, however, "But we're not done."
