President Joe Biden told fellow Democrats that he won’t veto a Republican-led effort to reverse a crime bill passed in the District of Columbia that lowers criminal penalties for a range of violent crimes.

In February, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives passed resolutions that undo voting and crime bills adopted by the local D.C. government.
