Trump is pouring more money into Reflecting Pool repairs, with costs surging to nearly $20m
- Donald Trump’s administration has funneled another $2.65 million of taxpayer funds into renovating the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, bringing total costs for the project to nearly $20 million.
- In July, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said the Trump administration would not seek any new contracts after costs exploded to more than $17 million.
- But federal spending records show that the National Park Service awarded a nearly $2.7 million contract last week to American Ag Energy Inc., for the maintenance, repair and rebuilding of water purification and sewage treatment equipment.
