Trump's own Justice Department shuns his Reflecting Pool vandalism claims, says revamp 'hasty'
US Justice Department has said that the damage to the renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was due to "hasty" installation by the contractor and not vandalism. This dismisses President Donald Trump's claim that vandals had cut and pulled the pool's lining after blue paint began peeling. The Trump administration had given a no-bid contract for the multi-million-dollar project.
