Trump spouts new theory that vandals destroyed Reflecting Pool 'in the dark of night'

President Donald Trump doubled down on his theory Tuesday that vandals were responsible for his failed Reflecting Pool renovations, suggesting that “razor blades” may have been used to create a “gash” in the pool’s bottom longer than a football field “in the dark of night.”“The 350 foot gash, made by a very sharp knife or razors, is actually numerous slashes over a very long 350 foot length,” Trump claimed on his social media platform Truth Social. “It was purposefully and criminally done, and somebody had to work very hard, probably in the dark of night, to create such a condition. Likewise, the small area at the bottom of the Pool was cut and powerfully lifted off the surface leaving very jagged, uneven edges.”The $14 million restoration project has become a headache for Trump. Just days after the restoration's completion, the pool became filled with green algae and paint from the pool's bottom appeared to be peeling off. Trump has claimed that vandals were responsible for the project’s failures, and threatened would-be vandals with 10 years imprisonment on Monday."Six people have been arrested, and seven people have been cited, for the damage they did to our Country’s now beautiful Reflecting Pool,” Trump wrote.“In any event, even prior to fixing those areas, the Reflecting Pool is as beautiful as it can be. We will drain some of the water, either immediately before or after the Fourth of July, to do the permanent repair.”

'We checked': New CBS Reflecting Pool probe finds 'no sign' of Trump knife slash

CBS News and other news organizations have investigated President Donald Trump's claim that vandals left a 350-foot gash in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and have found that there is "no sign."On Monday, Trump doubled down on his assertions about how the Reflecting Pool fiasco happened, saying it "has been given a 300-foot-long gash." The president told CBS News that he would present the evidence in court."I can't help it if somebody goes in with a knife and starts hacking it up," Trump has told reporters. On Tuesday, however, CBS correspondent Ed O'Keefe said the network had inspected the Reflecting Pool and could not substantiate the president's accusations."We checked again and still no sign of a 350-foot gash as President Trump alleges," O'Keefe wrote on X.The correspondent went further in his report that was broadcast on CBS Mornings, noting that he "did a lap around the pool a little earlier to check on things.""There are far more National Guard troops, local police, even US marshals out here keeping an eye on things," O'Keefe said. "But the one thing we still can't find is that alleged 350-foot gash along the floor of the pool that the president says is there.""Despite that, the interior department is getting ready to drain the pool again and make repairs again," O'Keefe told anchor Errol Barnett. "The president previously claimed the pool was impenetrable with a blade.""But Monday, he said that's exactly what happened, claiming someone cut a long gash in the pool's lining and pulled at its edges."O'Keefe added that other "reporters have been down there today looking for that slit that you mentioned, and there's no evidence of it.""So many more questions," Barnett concluded. "I'm sure taxpayers will be encouraged to know they at least paid for something with a warranty."
