Trump’s comments to the media Monday came on the heels of a Wall Street Journal report that the president told donors earlier this month that he was considering changing marijuana from a Schedule I to Schedule III drug, which would ease restrictions on marijuana use.

President Donald Trump is considering reclassifying marijuana as a less dangerous drug. Yes, though 45 states have legalized the use of marijuana for medicinal or recreational use, the federal government still classifies it as a Schedule I drug.

While details of the plan were unclear, the administration is preparing to deploy hundreds of National Guard troops to Washington, a U.S. official told Reuters.

President Trump signaled he may call on the National Guard to come into Chicago to tackle crime, while announcing the White House is doing so in Washington, D.C. despite a double-digit drop in crime.
