Trump says 6 people arrested over damage to the troubled Reflecting Pool project
President Donald Trump claimed six people were arrested for damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, alleging a '350 foot gash' in its coating without evidence. The troubled $14-million renovation, intended to prepare the pool for the nation’s 250th anniversary, has faced issues like algae blooms and peeling paint, which Trump attributed to vandalism. The Interior Department and Park Police have not confirmed the claims, and no images substantiating the allegations were released as of Tuesday.
