## Resource

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was drained after alleged vandalism caused severe damage, with the President blaming “thugs” for slashing and ripping the surface—though the National Park Service points to a single knife attack. A former Olympic canoeist, arrested for allegedly removing sealant, claims he was just curious and touched it briefly. The President vows harsh consequences and says repairs will resume after July Fourth, while offering no concrete evidence—redirecting reporters to government agencies for details.
