WASHINGTON _ President Donald Trump vowed Tuesday to work "hand in hand" with Republicans in Congress on a police reform package, despite persistent disagreements with lawmakers over how far their efforts should go.
Signing an executive order tying federal grants for police departments to their records on use of force training, Trump said he expected Republicans to find common ground on a bill moving through the Senate that would expand on his executive action.
"Go back and see if you can get something done," Trump told Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., who attended the Rose Garden signing ceremony. "We are going to be pursuing it, and we are going to be pursuing it strongly."
