Trump claims crime is down to "virtually nothing" in DC & adds the crimes that are happening are "much lesser things. Things that take place in the home they call crime. You know, they'll do anything they can to find something. If a man has a little fight w/the wife they say 'this is a crime. See?'"

In the SCOTUS ruling unleashing what a judge described as "roving patrols" of racial profiling, Kavanaugh cited the Trump admin's unsourced stat about immigration in LA.

There's reason for skepticism, and Sotomayor called him out.
