A report from the inspector general in the United States Interior Department is being met with wide skepticism after its findings claimed there was no connection between the violent removal of Black Lives Matter protesters in Lafayette Park outside of the White House and a photo op taken by former President Donald Trump shortly after at a nearby church last year. The 41-page report by Inspector General Mark Lee Greenblatt, an appointee of Trump’s, stated that U.S. Park Police (USPP) did not force protesters to leave using violent methods on June 1, 2020, for the former president, but rather did so in order to install anti-scale fencing to deter property damage in the park.
