Fencing remains up around the Reflecting Pool despite admission that vandals didn’t cause the damage
- The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool remained fenced off as of Thursday, August 6, even after vandalism-related charges were dropped against a former Olympian and three other people.
- Photos from the scene, taken on Wednesday, depicted a chain-link fence surrounding the pool, which was initially erected in late July when the Trump administration re-drained the water for repairs.
- Access to the Reflecting Pool has been limited, especially after President Donald Trump accused “vandals” of damaging the pool by slashing the newly installed liner and dumping chemicals into the water.
