It remains unclear how far the investigation into #MurielBowser, a #Democrat who has served as #Washington’s mayor since 2015, has advanced since it was opened. But people familiar with the inquiry said it was based on potential violations of bribery or campaign finance laws. A spox for the #USattorney’s office declined to comment.

March 2025, ā€˜More than brick and mortar:' DC begins removing ā€˜Black Lives Matter’ plaza near the White House

By ASHRAF KHALIL and JACQUELYN MARTIN
Updated 5:57 PM EDT, March 10, 2025

WASHINGTON (AP) — "Starlette Thomas remembers coming down almost daily to the intersection of 16th and H streets, to protest police brutality and systemic racial iniquities during the summer of 2020.

"On Monday, the 45-year old Bowie, Maryland resident returned to the site of those protests to mourn the end of Black Lives Matter Plaza.

" 'I needed to be here today. I can’t just let this go away,' Thomas said, as jackhammers began tearing into the giant yellow letters in the street. Thomas discretely secured a chunk of pavement and said holding it made her feel conflicted.

" 'To walk away with a piece of that, it means it’s not gone,' she said. 'It’s more than brick and mortar.'

"Crews started work Monday to remove the large yellow '#BlackLivesMatter' painted on the street one block from the White House. D.C. Mayor #MurielBowser announced the change last week in response to pressure from Republicans in Congress. The work is expected to take about six weeks and the words will be replaced by an unspecified set of city-sponsored murals.

"The painting of those words was an act of government-sponsored defiance during President Donald Trump’s first term. The removal amounts to a public acknowledgement of just how vulnerable the District of Columbia is now that Trump is back in the White House and Republicans control both houses of Congress.

"Bowser, a Democrat, ordered the painting and renamed the intersection #BlackLivesMatterPlaza in June 2020. It came after days of chaotic protests at that location following the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer; Bowser had clashed with #Trump over her handling of the protests.

"But now Bowser has little power to fend off encroachments on D.C.'s limited autonomy. Bowser said last week on X that, 'The mural inspired millions of people and helped our city through a painful period, but now we can’t afford to be distracted by meaningless congressional interference. The devastating impacts of the federal job cuts must be our number one concern.' "

DC begins removing 'Black Lives Matter' plaza after pressure from GOP

Crews have begun work to remove the large yellow ā€œBlack Lives Matterā€ painted on the street one block from the White House. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced the change last week in response to pressure from activist Republicans in Congress. The work is expected to take about six weeks and the words will be replaced by an unspecified set of city-sponsored murals. The painting of those words was an act of government-sponsored defiance during President Donald Trump’s first term. Their removal amounts to a public acknowledgement of just how vulnerable D.C. is now that Trump is back in the White House and Republicans control both houses of Congress.
