Lincoln Pool Damage and Political Fallout | San Antonio News

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool suffered damage described as a gash or multiple cuts, prompting a costly repair — but the Trump administration is sticking with the same contractors who originally worked on it, despite controversy. The pool, already painted “American flag blue” for national celebrations, will need partial draining for repairs. While some blame vandals — including a former Olympian indicted for property destruction — his legal team calls the charges outrageous. Questions also swirl over contracts tied to Trump allies, with senators demanding accountability over taxpayer-funded repairs and the lack of transparency in landmark renovations. The courts will decide the fate of those charged, while the public waits for answers.
