The Republican National Committee (RNC) has submitted an application to conduct a fireworks display near the Washington Monument next week after President Trump concludes his acceptance speech at the White House.
The National Park Service received the application last Friday, and its approval is still pending, according to Mike Litterst, chief of communications for the agency.
The RNC did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but the application indicates the organization hopes to conduct a brief fireworks show around 11:30 p.m. on Aug. 27. The application notes that the event could attract protesters.
