US Park Police are investigating a large “8647” marking found in the grass at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Officials responded to reports of vandalism on Thursday morning and collected grass samples for testing, while the cause of the discoloration remains unclear. The faded numbers, with “8” most visible, appeared near the World War II Memorial. Some Trump administration officials claim “86” is slang for “get rid of,” suggesting a threatening message directed at Trump, the 47th president. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities yet to determine intent or origin of the markings.
