Trump blames vandals for damaged grass in the same spot where he held his big July 4 celebration

President Donald Trump accused vandals of damaging dead grass on the National Mall near the World War II Memorial, linking it to his July 4 celebration area. He made these claims without providing evidence and in contrast to accounts from U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro's office regarding damage assessments at other memorials. Authorities announced an arrest related to vandalism at the WWII Memorial after specific graffiti was found on the monument.
