Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser sought $3 million in federal funds from President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 stimulus bill to help build Black Lives Matter Plaza, emails show.

Top officials in Bowser’s administration disclosed in a June 16 email thread that the mayor wanted to requisition $3 million from the American Rescue Plan stimulus package for the city’s “streetscapes & beautification” account for use toward the BLM Plaza project in the 2022 fiscal year, which runs October 2021 through September 2022. The emails were obtained by Breitbart News.
