The White House said Monday that Americans are safer under President Obama, despite FBI crime statistics showing that violent crime rose about 4 percent last year. “The numbers indicate that since President Obama took office, the violent crime rate has fallen 15 percent,” said White House press secretary Josh Earnest, who said crime rates are still “near historic lows.”
The FBI reported Monday that violent crime rose nationwide, fueled by an 11-percent increase in homicides, particularly in some of the largest cities.
