As the DC Reflecting Pool is drained, the gash Trump claimed vandals caused is hard to find
- The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is now empty - but the “300 yards long” gash that President Donald Trump claimed had been caused by vandals is proving difficult to find.
- The pool was drained Tuesday, prompting news crews and some curious Washington locals to congregate and attempt to locate the gash in the lining that the White House had said caused algae to rebloom in its waters.
- A CNN crew reported they “did not notice any obvious signs of long gashes in the recently installed lining” - but noted they were unable to gain full access to the Reflecting Pool because of fencing.
