Lambert here: Other reports say Logan Circle, not Dupont.
A 19-year-old man known as “Big Balls” who played a key role in the DOGE initiative to shrink the size of government was assaulted over the weekend in Washington, according to city police.
Edward Coristine, who still works for the government, was assaulted by approximately 10 juveniles near Dupont Circle about 3 a.m. Sunday, according to a police report obtained by POLITICO.
President Donald Trump posted a photo on his social media platform showing a shirtless Coristine with what appeared to be blood spattered on his face, body and pants.
Coristine told the officers the assailants approached him outside his vehicle while he was with a woman — identified in the report as his “significant other” — and made a comment about taking it, according to the report. He told officers that he got the other person into the vehicle just before he was attacked.
A fellow DOGE staffer, Marko Elez, took the photo of the bloodied Coristine after the attack [How convenient —lambert].
Coristine, who now works for the Social Security Administration [Exfiltrating SSNs into the cloud —lambert], has held key roles in DOGE’s efforts, including its move to dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development.
