On 26 Aug 2025, US President Donald Trump said his government will seek the death penalty for all murder cases in Washington, DC. He called it a strong way to prevent crime. Washington, DC has not used the death penalty since 1957, and local leaders removed it in 1981. But federal prosecutors can still apply it in some cases. Trump did not give details on how this will happen. His announcement is part of a wider effort to control crime in the US capital. (Updated 27 Aug 2025, 03:44 IST; source: link)
