Reflecting pool damage was the result of botched work, not vandals, DOJ says

President Donald Trump's botched renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was the result of a "hasty" installation by the contractor, and not vandalism, the Department of Justice revealed Friday afternoon.
U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro, in a motion to dismiss charges against former Olympian David Hearn for allegedly vandalizing the reflecting pool, wrote that previously undisclosed problems with the installation of its blue lining make proving a felony destruction of government property charge difficult.
