The United States Department of Justice, under the administration of President Donald Trump, has indicted a former Olympic athlete, David Hearn, on felony charges for allegedly damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington D.C. According to US Attorney Jeanine Pirro, a Trump appointee, Hearn, 67, intentionally vandalized the pool on June 19th. Critics, however, question the legitimacy of these claims, with Hearn himself denying any wrongdoing and stating that he was merely curious about the pool during his visit. The Reflecting Pool had undergone renovations since April, part of Trump's wider initiative to redesign Washington D.C., but the $13.1 million project has faced criticism due to subsequent algae blooms and peeling blue paint. Hearn is accused of damaging approximately 2 square feet of pool sealant by forcefully removing its bottom liner, a claim he vehemently denies. The hearing for Hearn's case is scheduled for July 9th, with preparations underway for the July 4th fireworks show at the Reflecting Pool. The site remains fenced off to visitors, sparking debates about Trump's claims of vandalism and the state of America's national monuments.
