New Park Service Docs Undercut Trump’s Reflecting Pool Sabotage Claim
TL;DR Summary
New documents from the National Parks Service, obtained by The New York Times, show that the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool’s peeling epoxy lining stems from foam cuts and joint damage after refilling, not vandals; arrests cited as vandalism appear to involve curious tourists, while Trump’s warnings of sabotage lack evidence and maintenance/repairs continue.
