Five people reportedly arrested after Trump claims Washington reflecting pool was ‘vandalized’ – US politics live

Five individuals were reportedly arrested and five federal citations issued for vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool in Washington DC. Donald Trump stated that repair work would begin immediately to address the damage. While Trump alleges nefarious activity caused the issues, including peeling paint, some experts suggest the pool's algae problems are likely a product of Mother Nature. The administration official confirmed the arrests occurred following the reported vandalism of the federal landmark.
