Workers were given the impression the president wanted pictures that appeared to depict more spectators.
Shortly after his inauguration, President Donald Trump boasted about the size of the crowds in attendance, and then-press secretary Sean Spicer, in his first press conference, sided with his boss and insisted that it had been the largest audience ever to witness an inauguration, period.
This wasnt true, of course, but a government photographer did his best to make it seem like it was.
Newly released documents obtained by the Guardian show that a National Park Service photographer, following a request from the White House, cropped the official photographs to remove empty space where the crowds ended. The documents were produced as part of an Interior Department inspector generals investigation, but the details about the edited photos were not included in the final report, released last June.

Hpw does one crop a 360 degree image???
It was ‘swell’ when Candidate Obama did it in Germany and elsewhere.
When you begin to see pink goo, it is time to stop beating a dead horse
I stopped reading at “Mother Jones.”
If Trump had that much influence over photographers he would have had them make sure every photo of him included the once-obligatory “Obama halo.”
I was there as well and it was packed. I also was at Obamas, Carters and Reagans. Many people watched on big and little screens also due to the large crowds.
I was a professional photographer for 15 years.
Cropping is part of the job. You can crop how much you want. You are not supposed to photoshop things in or out, but cropping has always been cool.
Newspapers wouldnt have any good photos without cropping.
Where are the articles on the Sedition Sisters, Hillary and Diane.
SJWs always *LIE*.
SJWs always *PROJECT*.
SJWs always *DOUBLE DOWN*.
This is mother jones, world’s most liberalparty propaganda rag. Not buying their story.
What this country needs is a centrist media outlet. But the. Left would scream they’re far right. The pendulum of media projection is extreme right.
Sorry extreme left. Khrushchev is working hard out of the grave.
The crowd that was most important occurred on
Tuesday November 8, 2016.
Mother Jones, eh? Did Snopes confirm this story?
HILLARY YAY!
Upon exiting, participants took part in a poll and it was
found that only 44.6% of them had washed their junk that day.
I was there as well. One thing folks DON’T KNOW about is that the planning committee did everything they could to MISDIRECT attendees, slow entry lines down to a crawl, pen people up inside of barricade pens for long periods. There were barricades that would force you to walk 5 blocks down, six blocks across, turn, walk blocks back, then five blocks back up JUST TO CROSS one street! Not kidding. My husband has photos of the jumbotron from inside of the Silver Section which show a massive crowd on the screen. I made it to the Trump International - by luck really, but my husband couldn’t find a way to cross one corner due to the barricade mazes that were set up. Schumer is a sinister b*stard!
Thank God Pres. Trump didn’t do a fly-over in AF1...
I remember the media making a big deal of the pre-event crowd photos. Slimeballs lying from he starting gate.
