Burgum claims vandals cut Lincoln Memorial pool liner, presses proof in CNN clash
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum defended the Trump-era renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in a CNN interview, asserting vandals cut the pool’s new blue industrial liner and presenting photographs as proof, insisting the pool no longer leaks after repairs and that the damage was deliberate; he criticized media questions about the project ahead of the Fourth of July and said the same contractor would handle repairs.
