Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool drained again amid ongoing repairs

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was drained for repairs, with President Donald Trump blaming vandals for damaging the lining. The project has faced issues like algae blooms, a chipping bottom, and green-tinted water, leading to over $14 million in costs since April. At least three people were arrested for vandalism, and two firms received no-bid contracts to expedite work before the July 4 holiday.
