Six people have been arrested and seven cited in connection with damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, President Donald Trump said Tuesday. Trump posted the news on Truth Social, describing a 350‑foot series of slashes along the pool’s surface and a section of liner cut and lifted, leaving jagged edges.
He said large areas of grass are being replaced and that the pool will be partially drained before or after the Fourth of July to complete permanent repairs. FOX 5 DC learned from an administration official that five people had been arrested for vandalism, with five others issued federal citations.
The official said 14 police reports have been filed, including one involving a blade used to slash a more than 250‑foot section of the Reflecting Pool. LiveNOW’s Anna Marsick discussed the reflecting pool and preparations for America 250 with Reuters Trevor Hunnicutt. Subscribe to LiveNOW from FOX!
