Trump vs ABC Over Reflecting Pool Costs

Trump’s latest feud with ABC News centers on the cost of repairing the Reflecting Pool in D.C., where he claims his administration spent just $16 million — a figure ABC disputes, citing actual costs exceeding $14 million plus additional contracts. Trump accuses ABC of omitting past spending under Obama and Biden, and threatens legal action — a move that echoes a prior $15 million settlement with him. Public records reveal Obama spent around $35 million, while Biden’s spending remains unclear. The spat unfolds amid ABC’s own FCC investigations, led by a Trump appointee, underscoring Trump’s ongoing battle with what he calls biased media coverage.
