Trump claims vandals damaged DC Reflecting Pool, and says it will be drained again

President Donald Trump claimed vandals caused deliberate sabotage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, including a 250-foot gash and chemical damage, leading to its drainage for repairs. Maryland resident David Hearn was arrested for allegedly touching dislodged blue pieces, but denies the charge. Experts attribute the pool's green discoloration to natural algae growth, not vandalism.
