Freedom250 says fuel leak on National Mall was smaller than initially reported

Organizers for Freedom250 disputed a story claiming over 30 gallons of fuel spilled onto the National Mall last month, saying the actual amount was about 2.5 gallons.

NBC News reported on Monday that during Freedom250’s “Rededicate 250” prayer service last month, over 30 gallons of fuel spilled out of commercial generators onto the National Mall. A spokesperson told the outlet that the spill was due to the generators being targeted by vandals, and the matter is under investigation.
