November 2025 – Claim of “six months” with no murders
In November 2025 (around the annual turkey pardon event), Trump claimed something broader:
- He said Washington “hasn’t seen a murder in six months.”
This claim was widely fact-checked and found false: Metropolitan Police data show multiple homicides in the preceding six months, including dozens since late May and even after the federal intervention in August.
Trump discussed his crime-fighting efforts in Washington, D.C., claiming it’s been months since the city has seen a murder. But DC police data says otherwise.
