Lincoln Memorial Pool Under Attack

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool’s $16 million renovation is in chaos after vandals slashed its liner with knives or razors, sparking a surveillance hunt and sparking political firestorms. President Trump blames “vandals” for ongoing damage—including a gash and peeling paint—though no proof exists. Authorities report seven arrests, seven citations, and 18 police reports tied to the vandalism spree. Originally slated for completion before July 4th, the pool’s restoration is now facing another drain-and-fix cycle. Complicating matters: a nonprofit lawsuit seeks to halt work, while Democrats demand investigations into contractor ties to Trump, all amid mounting taxpayer cost concerns.
