- The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has drawn nationwide attention after an algae bloom turned its waters a vivid green within days of President Donald Trump’s multi-million-dollar refurbishment, casting a shadow over a project intended to beautify the city.
- Trump has attributed the discoloration and other problems at the basin to acts of vandalism, and authorities say six people have been arrested in connection to the site.
