Photos of Trump inauguration were doctored to make the crowd look bigger after his intervention: Report
President Trump allegedly called National Park Service director Michael Reynolds a day after the event asking for photographs that 'more accurately represented the crowd size'
It had long been known that former press secretary Sean Spicer's claim that President Donald Trump drew "the largest audience ever to witness an inauguration period, both in person and around the globe," was false and based on doctored photos. New evidence proves comprehensively that the crowd gathered at the National Mall on January 20, 2017 was indeed not what the Trump administration made it out to be.
According to documents obtained by the Guardian, a government photographer edited official pictures of the event to make the crowd appear bigger by "cropping out the bottom where the crowd ended" following a personal intervention from the president himself.
