Trump says vandals used chemicals to damage newly renovated reflecting pool near Lincoln Memorial
President Donald Trump accused vandals of using chemicals to damage the newly renovated Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, which had faced issues with algae growth and peeling paint shortly after a $14.8 million restoration. The National Park Service is using chemicals and ozone treatments to address the algae, while authorities investigate the vandalism and a prior '86 47' message etched near the National Mall.
