WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's speech Saturday at the headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency turned into the latest battle in, as he put it, his "running war with the media." Photos of the National Mall from his inauguration make clear that the crowd did not extend to the Washington Monument. Thin crowds and partially empty bleachers also dotted the inaugural parade route. Hotels across the District of Columbia reported vacancies, a rarity for an event as large as a presidential inauguration. The Metro system also posted that only two parking lots at stations were more than 60 percent full. [...] the exact size of the crowd may never be known since the National Park Service, which used to provide those estimates, stopped doing it in the 1990s. The reporter later acknowledged the error, saying a Secret Service agent and a door had obstructed his view of the bust when reporters were allowed into the room briefly after Trump's swearing in. Was it a line or do they even bother running it?
