8 Sept: CNN: National Park Service edited inauguration photos after Trump, Spicer calls
by Gregor Wallace
The identity of the photographer and many other government officials are redacted from the documents, which were first obtained by The Guardian.

The documents recount the call Trump placed on his first full day in office to the then-acting park service director, Michael Reynolds...

The official “said she got the impression that President Trump wanted to see pictures that appeared to depict more spectators in the crowd,” the notes read. “She said that the pictures the public media had released had wide angles and showed a lot of empty areas. She assumed that the pictures the White House was asking for needed to be cropped to show more of the crowd present at the event, but acknowledged that Reynolds did not ask for this.”

Spicer, the White House press secretary, also reached out to the park service, and a staffer said she understood he asked “for NPS to provide photographs in which it appeared the inauguration crowd filled the majority of the space in the photograph.”...

One told investigators he arrived to his office about 30 minutes after Trump and Reynolds spoke, and that he cropped the photos, including removing “the bottom where the crowd ended.”

“He said he did so to show that there had been more of a crowd,” the investigators’ notes read. “He said he believed that was what [redacted] wanted him to do. He said [redacted] had not specifically asked him to crop the photographs to show more of a crowd.”
