Trump inauguration crowd photos were edited after he intervened
Exclusive: documents released to Guardian reveal government photographer cropped space ‘where crowd ended’
A government photographer edited official pictures of Donald Trump’s inauguration to make the crowd appear bigger following a personal intervention from the president, according to newly released documents.
The photographer cropped out empty space “where the crowd ended” for a new set of pictures requested by Trump on the first morning of his presidency, after he was angered by images showing his audience was smaller than Barack Obama’s in 2009.
