NEW: A draft DOJ report found that D.C. police chief Pamela Smith created a "culture of fear" that may have incentivized downgrading the seriousness of crimes. H/t @SegravesNBC4 for being first to report on the document. Story will be updated with more https://t.co/DOPEgcQAIe

Absolutely heartbroken, our good friend and longtime colleague @JamesWrightJr10 passed away, apparently of natural causes. James was a steadfast journalist for The Informer newspaper serving an underserved community. Rest easy James, we’ll take it from here. 💔 @nbcwashington
