Fox News’ Bret Baier Caught on Video Getting Ticketed in D.C. amid Trump’s Police Takeover
"I didn't know there was paparazzi," Baier said after footage of him getting pulled over was shared to X
Fox News anchor Bret Baier was ticketed in Washington, D.C., amid President Donald Trump's overhaul of the city's police.
One week after the president seized control of the Metropolitan Police Department — a move he claimed would help to fight crime and target the city's homeless population — Baier, 55, was seen getting a ticket for distracted driving by an MPD officer.

The Special Report host explained in a post on X that he picked up his phone as he drove past an officer in Georgetown, resulting in the ticket. As in much of the rest of the United States, it is illegal to use a cellphone while simultaneously driving in Washington, unless hands-free technology is being used.
"I didn't know there was paparazzi," Baier added at the end of his message.

After the president announced his administration's takeover of Washington, D.C., law enforcement on Aug. 11, the Metropolitan Police Department fell under federal control. Attorney General Pam Bondi was put in charge of the D.C. police, and Trump warned he was ready to deploy other military forces "if needed."
The capital takeover prompted widespread protests, confrontations at ICE checkpoints and further curfews. Although the citizen response is largely negative, the Trump administration has expressed satisfaction with how the takeover is unfolding.Trump claimed the move was in response to a "public safety emergency," despite local crime data showing otherwise. The president has accused city officials of falsifying data.
The Washington, D.C., takeover was initially planned to be 30 days long, though Trump has expressed desire to extend the period — and apply the same methods in other U.S. cities.
"Our whole country is going to be so different and so great," Trump said on Aug. 13. "It's going to be clean and safe and beautiful, and people are going to love our flag more than they've ever loved it. And we're going to do a great job."
