Images of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool show that green algae have returned to the site on the National Mall despite President Trump's renovations.

The project, which cost more than $13 million, included the addition of nanobubbler technology that has "successfully destroyed the algae," according to the Interior Department.

A spokesperson told The Hill that "due to deploying the advanced nanobubbler technology" the algae are "dead" and "being vacuumed up as we speak."
