Reflecting pool was cut with ‘sharp knife or razor’, National Park Service says

A senior National Park Service official claimed in a court filing that the reflecting pool at the Lincoln Memorial had its liner damaged with what appears to be a sharp object, echoing previous allegations of vandalism by Donald Trump. About 70 fence post tops were also reportedly thrown into the pool. This incident has sparked a lawsuit from a nonprofit group seeking further investigation, highlighting the potential security and maintenance issues at national monuments. The allegations underscore broader concerns about vandalism and the upkeep of national landmarks.
