Report: White House Officials Deleted Photos of Trump Rally After Concerns Over Attendance
CNN reported White House officials deleted crowd photos after Trump claimed the fair was packed, though images showed far fewer attendees than he said.
- White House officials deleted photographs of crowds at the Great American State Fair after President Donald Trump became "livid" over poor attendance, with aerial images showing the crowd was "nowhere near" the 45,000-strong turnout he claimed on social media.
- The MAGA-aligned Freedom 250 organized the event, sidelining the Congressionally chartered America250 group, while House Democrats released a report Thursday alleging officials steered $75 million in taxpayer funds toward Trump's own organization.
- Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger argued the poor turnout reflects the president's "about 30%" approval rating, noting that attendees faced heat and security restrictions while some flocked to exits during Trump's commencement address.
- Representative Jared Huffman, ranking Democrat on the House Natural Resources Committee, stated there is "evidence of all those elements" of fraud in the funding redirection, while CNN's Kaitlan Collins reported staff scrambled to scrub images.
- Officials are concerned Trump's upcoming July 4 celebration on the National Mall could spark another presidential meltdown, as temperatures are projected to reach at least 100 degrees and heavy-handed security may deter attendance.
