Donald Trump called for the death penalty for any murders committed in Washington D.C.

During a televised cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Trump said "Anybody murders something in the capital - capital punishment."

The DC council repealed the District's capital punishment law in 1981, and residents voted against reinstating the death penalty in a 1992 referendum.

In 2020, Trump oversaw 13 federal executions, more than any president in the preceding 120 years.
