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

U.S. House and Senate Democrats demand transparency from the Interior Department after reports the Trump administration redirected $90 million in national park fees to fund Washington, D.C., renovations and 250th birthday celebrations. The lawmakers argue this diverts resources from parks needing maintenance, citing the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act's requirement that 80% of fee revenue return to the parks where collected.
