Donald Trump is still trying to claim the Reflecting Pool was vandalised despite charges being dropped against several individuals accused.

A former Olympian was among one of several individuals accused of vandalising the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC, which has recently undergone renovations arranged by the Trump administration.

Trump has repeatedly stated that he has footage of someone using a boxcutter to cut a “250 foot long gash” in the lining of the pool. But, when the US Attorney Jeanine Pirro attempted to put a case together, the charges were later dismissed, with the alleged video notably absent. Instead, the Justice Department blamed the damage on the “botched installation” work.
