Trump tries to blame Reflecting Pool woes on vandalism, without offering substantiation

President Donald Trump claimed federal authorities arrested individuals for vandalizing the Reflecting Pool, which faced issues with algae and peeling blue paint after a $14-million renovation. An arrest included David Hearn, who touched the pool's surface during a bike ride and was detained by National Guard troops and Park Police. Agencies responsible for the National Mall did not comment on the vandalism claims.
