Summary
What’s going on with the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool? The blue paint is slowly covering the national landmark. But nearly every day there’s a story about new controversies over Donald Trump’s pet project. And a lot of those stories are written by David Fahrenthold, an investigative reporter for the New York Times. He’s here to give us a lay of the land. Want some more DC news?
