No evidence? No problem. Trump pushes ahead on false claims that Reflecting Pool was vandalized

President Donald Trump falsely claimed the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was vandalized, despite evidence showing the damage resulted from poor construction. The U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Jeanine Pirro, refuted Trump's claims in court filings. Trump sought to hold Olympic canoeist David Hearn accountable for touching sealant in the pool, but charges were dismissed, prompting Trump to criticize Pirro publicly.
