Summary
Six people were arrested over alleged damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, President Donald Trump said Tuesday, adding that seven others were cited in related incidents.
Charges and the full scope of the arrests were still unclear, and law enforcement had not yet publicly confirmed or detailed the cases.
Days earlier, chunks of the pool’s “American Flag Blue” coating were seen peeling into the water while workers treated algae in the recently renovated basin.
The pool has faced algae and paint problems after a renovation Trump directed, putting fresh scrutiny on the high-profile memorial project.
