Lawmakers demand info on Trump use of national park fees to pay for D.C. repairs

Lawmakers are demanding transparency from the Interior Department after reports revealed the Trump administration redirected $90 million in national park fees to fund Washington, D.C. renovations and 250th birthday celebrations. Critics argue this diverts resources from national parks needing maintenance, as the National Park Service is required to allocate 80% of fee revenue to the parks where it is collected.
