NEW YORK, June 21 (Reuters) – People caught vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on Washington\u2019s National Mall \u200bwill be fully prosecuted, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said on \u200cSunday.<\/div>\n
President Donald Trump has blamed vandalism for recent problems with the newly renovated pool, including its new blue paint peeling off. Citations for vandalism have been issued, Pirro said \u200bon Sunday, adding that even minor crimes must be prosecuted \u200bto keep the U.S. capital safe.<\/div>\n
The peeling paint was visible \u2060in the 2,000-foot-long rectangular pool, a major national landmark, less than \u200btwo weeks after Trump declared its $14.7 million renovation project completed on June \u200b6. Trump on Saturday claimed, without providing evidence, that vandals poured corrosive chemicals into the pool.<\/div>\n
“Anyone who is in a position of vandalizing or attempting to vandalize \u200bwill face the criminal justice system in D.C.,” Pirro told Fox \u200bNews’ “Sunday Briefing” program.<\/div>\n
In a Truth Social post on Sunday, Trump blamed “sick” and “deranged” people for \u200cthe \u2060current state of the “seriously vandalized” pool. He had previously posted that the pool will be drained for repairs.<\/div>\n
The pool has also suffered an algae bloom that makes the water look green. Those adding products to the \u200bpool that can \u200bgenerate algae \u2060could face more severe charges, Pirro said.<\/div>\n
Workers from the National Park Service earlier this week poured hydrogen peroxide \u200binto the pool to combat the algae.<\/div>\n
Trump first brought \u200bup allegations \u2060of vandalism on Friday, when he posted on social media that 75% of the algae is gone. He also accused ABC News journalist Jonathan \u2060Karl \u200bof “trying to rip the rubber off of \u200bthe surface” of the pool. ABC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
