Reflecting Pool Damage and Renovation Fallout

Someone slashed the liner of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool with a knife or razor, sparking outrage and prompting President Trump to blame “sick people” and claim six arrests were made—though details remain scarce.

Meanwhile, a nonprofit sued to halt further work, arguing the project should pause to consult experts and the public before proceeding.
