Reflecting Pool Contractor Blames Its Own Repairs, Not Vandals, for Damage

The contractor hired to renovate the Reflecting Pool admits that its own repair work caused the pool's blue liner to peel and bubble. Documents reveal the damage resulted from human oversight and a flawed plan involving incompatible chemicals, rather than vandalism. This contradicts claims made by President Trump, who repeatedly blamed vandals for the damage and pushed for prosecutions, even after U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro dropped the case regarding the incident at the site.
