A private boat with a Trump flag passed by SpaceX's Crew Dragon Endeavour as recovery teams attempt to secure the spacecraft, in what appears to be a serious violation of the splashdown zone's safety area.
It also looks like quite a few boats followed the SpaceX recovery ship out to the splashdown zone, given the number of onlookers circled.
UPDATE from NASA chief Bridenstine:
The U.S. Coast Guard tells me they expect to issue a statement on the incident later today.

NASA's Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel (ASAP) is now having the second part of its quarterly meeting, including updates on the Commercial Crew Program.

Thread:
Panel member Paul Hill: "The Commercial Crew Program is tracking a list of weekly work that must be closed" before Demo-2, although that is "no way unprecedented."
Hill: SpaceX has added a 3rd supporting landing site for Demo-2 "as a way to increase landing site availability and launch probability."
