Trump's administration won't seek new bids to repair the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool

The Trump administration will not seek new bids for repairing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, with Interior Secretary Doug Burgum affirming the same contractor will handle repairs. The project has faced controversy over alleged vandalism causing damage to the pool's liner, with authorities charging David Hearn, a former Olympian, for deliberately damaging the pool's sealant. The pool's repair issues include algae blooms and peeling coatings after recent renovations.
