Trump, blaming alleged vandals, says Washington Reflecting Pool needs repairs

WASHINGTON, June 20 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday that much of the water at the newly renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool “probably” has to be drained for repairs following what he called “vandalism” of the site.

“Many additional people have been arrested having to do with the disgraceful Vandalism of our beautiful Reflecting Pool,” Trump said on social media.

“We met with contractors today, will probably be forced to release and drain much of the water in order to do the necessary repairs, but will have them done as quickly as possible.”
