Ex-Olympian charged with damaging Reflecting Pool gets Sept. 28 trial date

David Hearn, a former Olympic canoe racer, has a trial set for Sept. 28 on a felony charge of damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. He pleaded not guilty, alleging the government failed to preserve evidence. The pool's renovation, ordered by President Donald Trump, has faced cost overruns and accusations of shoddy work, with Hearn and supporters claiming the case is politically motivated.
