There\\\'s block on the page about the clearing out of protesters during a demonstration at Lafayette Square on June 1st 2020 that is being blamed on \\\"Trump wanting to do a photo op\\\". Before I continue, there\\\'s been an update to this, and I\\\'m going to link the relavant article.

https://dailycaller.com/2021/06/09/protesters-werent-forcibly-cleared-lafayette-park-because-donald-trump-photo-op-report/

Essentially, there was report published on June 9th following an investigation by Inspector General of the Interior Department as to whether or not the clearing out was for \\\"\\\"Trump wanting to do a photo op\\\". The answer? \\\'\\\'\\\'NO\\\'\\\'\\\'.

\\\'\\\'A report released Wednesday by Mark Greenblatt, the Interior Department inspector general, determined that Park Police were given permission to and carried out clearing the park long before anyone knew the former president had plans to walk over.\\\'\\\'

and

\\\'\\\'“The evidence we reviewed showed that the (Park Police) cleared the park to allow a contractor to safely install anti-scale fencing in response to destruction of Federal property and injury to officers that occurred on May 30 and May 31,” Greenblatt noted.\\\'\\\'

\\\'\\\'“Moreover, the evidence established that relevant (Park Police) officials had made those decisions and had begun implementing the operational plan several hours before they knew of a potential presidential visit to the park, which occurred later that day,” the letter continued. “As such, we determined that the evidence did not support a finding that the (Park Police) cleared the park on June 1, 2020, so that then President Trump could enter the park.”\\\'\\\'

So with that in play, I propose that said block be edited to reflect the results of the investigation. This discussion\\\'s purpose will be to come up with a suitable change to said block, with the final result to be submitted to the Un/Lock and Edit Requests thread.
