DOJ spent nearly $1 million on banners of Trump’s face and other refurbishments, documents show
Records show the project included cleaning, lighting upgrades and redacted banner costs, while lawmakers criticized the spending as wasteful and politically motivated.
- The Department of Justice spent nearly $1 million on an "RFK Beautification Project" at its Washington, D.C. headquarters, which included installing giant "Celebratory Banners" featuring President Donald Trump's face.
- Officials signed the contract in January citing the "urgent nature" of completing the project before the 250th anniversary, while the department redacted specific line-item costs citing "trade secrets."
- Beyond the Justice Department, other federal agencies displayed similar imagery: the Department of the Interior spent $39,000, the Federal Aviation Administration up to $114,000, and the Department of Agriculture $16,400.
- Senator Adam Schiff called the spending "a terrible waste of Americans' hard-earned money" and "clearly against the law," while House Minority Leader Chuck Schumer labeled the banners an "authoritarian tactic."
- Reports indicate roughly $1 billion has been diverted from the National Parks Service for these projects, an action critics argue deprives parks of essential funding for signage, exhibits, and youth programs.
