Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon Evades Attempted Phone Theft in D.C.

Her account has been amplified by right-leaning media against the backdrop of President Trump’s federal takeover of the D.C. Metropolitan Police.

Overview

  • Dhillon posted on X that a homeless individual tried to swipe her phone while she walked past NY Ave Presbyterian Church near the White House.
  • She described the person as “malodorous” and “not in his right mind,” and said she dodged the attempt without injury.
  • After some skepticism, Dhillon identified Gateway Pundit reporter Jordan Conradson as a witness to the incident.
  • Fox News and The Post Millennial have promoted her posts to underscore conservative concerns about public safety in the capital.
  • D.C. officials led by Mayor Muriel Bowser have challenged the federalization order, citing falling violent crime rates and planning legal action.
