President Trump’s crackdown on crime in Washington, D.C., is already evident, just ask Republican firebrand Marjorie Taylor Greene’s boyfriend.
Brian Glenn, the chief White House correspondent for Real America’s Voice, commented to Trump during a press event in the Oval Office with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday about the increased safety in the city following Trump’s decisive measures last week.
In the meeting focused on efforts to resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Glenn lauded Trump for his decision to deploy the National Guard and take control of the city’s police forces.
He commended the president’s robust actions, observing that the city feels more secure, allowing him to walk around with his ultra-conservative Republican girlfriend.
Over the weekend, there were 137 arrests made in the district, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on Monday.
Nearly 400 arrests have been made in D.C. since Trump announced the federal government was stepping in.
‘I walked around yesterday with MTG,’ Glenn told the president. ‘If you can walk around with DC with MTG, the city is safe.’
Greene agrees, telling the Daily Mail in a phone call on Monday that the city has noticeably changed in the week since Trump has exerted control.
‘I walked around yesterday with MTG,’ Glenn told the president. ‘If you can walk around with DC with MTG, the city is safe’

On Monday, Glenn expressed to Trump that D.C. seems safer, as he now can stroll freely with his conservative girlfriend without any issues, thanks to the president’s directive to bring in additional forces to the area.
‘I’ve received some of the most significant death threats among Congress members and the House,’ she stated. ‘Washington, D.C., has been considered one of the country’s most dangerous cities.’
Since coming to Washington in 2021, Greene has mostly holed up at her D.C. home.
She informed the Daily Mail that she has only taken a few short walks, largely due to the city’s crime rates and her prominent status as a conservative politician.
There have been many high-profile crimes recently in the city, Greene was quick to point out.
The conservative mentioned the recent fatal shooting of a congressional intern, who was killed after being caught in crossfire near a metro station last month.
She also mentioned the 2023 carjacking of Democratic Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar.
‘But it has been a drastic change,’ Greene said of Trump’s crime crackdown.
Normally reticent to journey out into the heavily liberal district, Greene described an idyllic weekend spent with her beau.

Greene told the Daily Mail she has received some of the most death threats out of all members of the House of Representatives
‘We went for a four-mile walk … we walked all the way down the National Mall past the Washington Memorial down past [the] Lincoln,’ she said. ‘We went such a long way. And it was a beautiful day, and it felt safer than it ever has.’
‘We saw National Guard out, saw more D.C. Metro Police presence, which looked completely different,’ Greene added.
‘There’s been a lot of homeless people and just people that are seen as threatening are no longer out on the streets, which is a big change.’
The congresswoman admitted that, though she always feels safe with Glenn, the additional authorities deployed by Trump have given her added confidence.
‘We were able to walk to dinner, to go out to dinner. So that was a lovely date. I enjoyed it so much.’
Zelensky wore a suit to the Oval Office on Monday
In February, when Zelensky traveled to the White House, he did not wear a suit, something Glenn asked the leader about at the time
‘I always feel safe with Brian. He’s one of my greatest defenders,’ she added. ‘But it’s pretty hard to live somewhere and work in a city where you just can’t go out and about.’
During the White House event, Glenn even evoked some laughs when he complimented Zelensky for wearing a suit to the White House.
‘President Zelensky, you look fabulous in that suit,’ Glenn said, prompting Trump to laugh.
The journalist, who asked Zelensky earlier this year why he did not wear a suit to the White House, noted that the Ukrainian president decided to change his wardrobe during this trip to D.C.
Zelensky, however, noticed how Glenn was wearing a similar outfit to the last time the two met.
‘But you are in the same suit,’ Zelensky shot back. ‘You see, I changed you [did] not.’
Greene praised her boyfriend for questioning Zelensky’s outfit after the Oval Office event.
‘I’d like to recognize [Brian Glenn] for his success in upholding the proper White House wardrobe attire,’ MTG posted on X.
‘If Brian had never asked Zelenskyy the question, ‘why don’t you wear a suit, do you own a suit?’ I’m not sure he would have ever worn one to visit our great and respected President!’
