Interior Secretary Doug Burgum vowed "full" prosecution Saturday for vandals who allegedly slashed a 350-foot long gash into the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and defaced the area with a slew of anti-Trump graffiti.
"When people are attacking it [the Reflecting Pool], it is like an attack on our country," Burgum said. "These are our most sacred monuments, and they [the perpetrators] are gonna be prosecuted to the full extent of the law."
