Five individuals have been arrested and five others received federal citations for allegedly vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
NBC News
The most prominent individual arrested is David Hearn, a 67-year-old former three-time U.S. Olympic canoeist. He was charged with misdemeanor destruction of government property after he touched and handled a piece of the pool's peeling blue liner while passing by on a bicycle. Hearn denies the vandalism allegations, stating he was simply a "curious citizen" who touched a detached piece of the pool's coating.

+3 Other reported detentions include a woman who was stopped and detained by a group of officers after retrieving a small shard of the pool's failing sealant from the water. U.S. Park Police have not released the full identities of all individuals involved.
SO THEY GOT ARRESTED FOR GARBAGE PICKING MORE OR LESS. DID YOU EVER CONSIDER THAT TRUMP ONLY WON THE presidency WHEN HE GOES AGAINST WOMEN.......
the one time he went against a man, he lost huugggly.
I mean anyone with a brain who listens to this man talk about this incident should have all the data they need to determine he is a moron. The truth is... he gave the contract to a buddy who is a huckster, he fucked up the job, the color increases algae and the peroxide caused peeling along with likely being put on incorrectly (fraudster special).This is actually what happened, we all know this.
Then the president of the united states goes on tv and says vandals cut a 350 gash into the pool after saying you couldnt cut it, in a 24 hour surveilled space, with no evidence and that people have been arrested. He suggest fertilizer has been put in the pool.
Let that sink in, this man will just lie right to your face about the most obvious thing because his ego can't handle any criticism. This is the man you want running the show lol.
It's a microcosm of how he operates. JD vance needs to tell him to let go of the wheel.
