Summary
U.S. Park Police released video of a person kneeling at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and asked the public to help identify the individual in a destruction-of-government-property investigation.
Police said the incident occurred Friday at about 3:36 p.m., with the person seen reaching into the water while wearing a gray shirt, black shorts and carrying a light-colored handbag.
The probe centers on damage to the pool after President Donald Trump’s resurfacing effort left peeling “American Flag Blue” paint and algae that turned the water green.
Trump said some water will be drained for repairs and has alleged people used a box cutter to rip the surface, while also previously claiming chemicals or fertilizer were illegally put into the pool.
