WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on Aug. 25 aimed at eliminating cashless bail, along with another order adding specialized law enforcement units to executive agencies in Washington.

The executive orders come two weeks after Trump’s federal takeover of Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department and his activation of the National Guard in the city to fight crime.
