Overview
On August 3, Edward Coristine, a DOGE employee, was violently attacked, robbed, and carjacked by a group of teenagers in Logan Circle, D.C., around 3 a.m.
Laurence Cotton-Powell and Anthony Taylor have been federally charged in connection with the assault, which involved repeatedly punching Coristine while he protected a woman.
The brutal attack on Coristine prompted President Trump to deploy federal agents and the National Guard to Washington, D.C., as part of a broader crackdown on crime.
Two 15-year-olds had previously pleaded guilty to assaulting Coristine and received probation last week, as announced by U.S. Attorney Jeannine Pirro.
Cotton-Powell and Taylor were arrested last week and face multiple charges in D.C. Superior Court, including attempted unarmed carjacking, robbery, and assault.
