A watchdog group is demanding answers from the Trump administration about the dueling organizations planning America’s 250th birthday celebration, citing reporting from Semafor’s Ben Smith about a cooling power struggle between two groups involved.
Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, a nonprofit watchdog group that represents whistleblowers, sent a letter to the Interior Department demanding details about the funding for America 250, an entity established by Congress to prepare for the festivities, and Freedom 250, the parallel group created by Trump.
