Lawmakers demand investigations into the troubled $16 million renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, citing no-bid contracts awarded to vendors with ties to President Donald Trump.

Two contractors, Green Water Solutions and Atlantic Industrial Coatings, were awarded contracts for the pool's purification and repainting.

President Trump claimed six people were arrested for damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, citing a '350 foot gash' in its coating without evidence.

Federal authorities have patrolled the site, and Trump announced plans to drain some water for a permanent repair ahead of the Fourth of July.

President Donald Trump's Reflecting Pool renovation project faces issues with algae blooms and a damaged liner, prompting patrols by National Guard and U.S. Park Police.
