Trump claims proof of Reflecting Pool vandalism will be seen in court
AI Summary
The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool underwent a $14+ million renovation intended for upcoming national anniversary celebrations but encountered serious problems including algal growth and paint degradation within weeks of completion. Trump administration officials attributed these issues to deliberate vandalism, leading to multiple arrests including an Olympic athlete.
