Trump says 6 people have been arrested for damaging the Reflecting Pool
President Trump claimed six people were arrested for damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, citing a '350 foot gash' in its coating without evidence. The pool, part of a $14-million renovation project, faces issues with algae blooms and a peeling 'American flag blue' liner. Federal authorities have patrolled the site, and Trump announced plans to drain some water for a permanent repair ahead of the Fourth of July.
