yesterday afternoon there has been chaos and rioting throughout the night in philly absolutely we're

monitoring the situation closely if necessary we'll be standing by and prepared to deploy

federal resources i want to make one thing clear president trump will not tolerate any violence directed 

at america's law enforcement and look the actual case we're going to let the facts play out let the

investigation play out but we will not tolerate lawlessness in our streets so alyssa will you have to

wait for the mayor of philly to ask for help or might you just send somebody in that's a question for doj

was in seattle or portland or others we're prepared to deploy federal law enforcement if necessary so

will not tolerate violence against against law enforcement .
