President Donald Trump and other administration officials on Oct. 15 criticized the lack of jail time for teenagers who admitted to assaulting a federal worker.

“That’s terrible,” Trump said in response to a question during an Oval Office appearance with top officials to discuss his administration’s crime-fighting initiatives. “The judge should be ashamed of themselves.”
