Harmeet Dhillon reveals homeless man tried to steal her phone in DC

“A malodorous homeless person attempted to swipe my phone today while I was walking in DC back to the DOJ from an appointment -- but he was not in his right mind and I artfully dodged the attempt,” Dhillon wrote on Tuesday. “It'll be a while till things feel safe in this city, so everyone stay alert!”

Dhillon said she was "ok" after the altercation and “nothing happened,” adding, “I was faster than the homeless guy. It was next to the NY Ave Presbyterian Church. Several other homeless and mentally fragile people around. Close to the WH and tourist stuff.”

On Wednesday, Dhillon said that Gateway Pundit reporter Jordan Conradson witnessed the incident after some questioned her story.

“It’s crazy in DC. Federal help can’t come soon enough,” she said, referring to the Trump administration’s recent move to place the DC Metropolitan Police Department under federal control to address crime in the city.

President Trump invoked the DC Home Rule Act to put DC's Metropolitan Police Department under “direct federal control” and authorize his administration to deploy National Guard troops. The president's decision was an attempt to crack down on violent crime in the nation's capital.

On Monday, the president posted on social media, "Washington, D.C. will be LIBERATED today! Crime, Savagery, Filth, and Scum will DISAPPEAR. I will, MAKE OUR CAPITAL GREAT AGAIN! The days of ruthlessly killing, or hurting, innocent people, are OVER! I quickly fixed the Border (ZERO ILLEGALS in last 3 months!), D.C. is next!!!"
