CNBC's Luke Fountain is at the Great American State Fair on the Washington Mall for celebrations of the nation's 250th Independence Day. Freedom 250, the sponsor of the state fair, has become politicized because the Trump administration has pushed many events through that, rather than America 250, a bipartisan group created by Congress. It’s raised concerns from ethics watchdogs and Democrats.
