A former employee at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) nicknamed “Big Balls” was assaulted in Washington D.C. at the weekend, police said.
Edward Coristine was assaulted in the city’s Logan Circle neighborhood by a group of teenagers attempting to carjack him at around 3 a.m. on Sunday, according to The Associated Press and Politico. Coristine was with a woman identified by police as his significant other.
Two 15-year-olds were arrested as they attempted to flee the scene.
The attack prompted President Donald Trump to renew calls for the federal government to seize control of the nation’s capital.
“If D.C. doesn’t get its act together, and quickly, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City, and run this City how it should be run, and put criminals on notice that they’re not going to get away with it anymore,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social alongside a photo of a shirtless Coristine, apparently taken shortly after he was attacked.
