3. Reflecting Pool Arrests
President Trump says U.S. Park Police have made multiple arrests for vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C. The pool, recently renovated for more than $14 million with a new blue liner, has suffered algae blooms and peeling paint. Trump blames saboteurs for pouring chemicals and damaging the site, vowing years in jail for such crimes and immediate repairs.
Among those arrested is 67-year-old former Olympic canoeist David Hearn of Bethesda, Maryland. He faces a misdemeanor charge of destroying government property after touching a piece of already-peeling paint while cycling by the pool. Hearn denies any vandalism.
