Elon Musk says DOGE employee ‘beaten to the point of concussion’ trying to save woman from DC assault
President Donald Trump on Monday threatened to federalize Washington, D.C., calling for local minors and gang members over the age of 14 to be prosecuted as adults, after a famed former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) employee was allegedly beaten in the nation’s capital.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said local youth and gang members are “randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent citizens, at the same time knowing that they will be almost immediately released.”
Along with the post, Trump shared a photo of a bloodied man on the street.
Multiple sources told Fox News Digital the person in the photo shared by the president is Edward Coristine, the teenager known as “Big Balls,” who previously worked for DOGE.
Sources told Fox News Digital Coristine was violently attacked late Sunday or early Monday.
Can’t happen fast enough.
