For decades, that agency released official crowd counts for events on the National Mall, including inaugurations, protests, parades and even concerts. But back in the 1990s, Congress quietly forced the National Park Service to stop. The National Park Service was taken out of the crowd-counting business after a controversy over the 1995 Million Man March, organized by Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.
Anyway, it wasn’t the 200,000+ that the White House claimed.
