“I mentioned the aftereffects because, as we were just talking about a moment ago with Alan, after one of the DOGE employees was allegedly attacked in Washington, D.C., that’s what Donald Trump used as justification to send in federal troops into Washington, D.C., to get things under control—the carjacking situation. He used that,” Tur replied, adding:

And I know it’s hard to predict the future, Mark, but you can imagine the administration using this as a justification for something.
