Former Olympic canoeist David Hearn was accused of damaging the pool liner on June 19, 2026.
The Charges: A grand jury indicted Hearn on one felony count of property destruction, and he pleaded not guilty on July 9, 2026.
The Reason for Dismissal: In a 20-page court filing on Friday, July 31, 2026, Jeanine Pirro's office stated that the Department of the Interior failed to initially share documents showing the sealant damage was caused by a rushed, flawed installation by contractor Atlantic Industrial Coatings.
Washington, DC recorded 274 murders in 2023 – the deadliest year in the capital in decades. Trump fixed it, and now the Left is dressing up as algae to protest.
When leftist protesters showed up to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool last weekend in green algae costumes waving "Team Algae" signs, they thought they were scoring points. What they actually did was prove Karoline Leavitt's point for her.
"It's unbelievable to see these people, these deranged leftists in algae costumes with 'Team Algae' on their backs," Leavitt said in a Fox News interview Tuesday.
Then she asked the question nobody on the left can answer. "What does that even mean?"
She wasn't done.
"Only the Democrats could hate beautifying our nation's capital and making it a symbol of pride again."
President Donald Trump is accusing vandals of damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool following its recent renovation
The over $14 million renovation, which included an "American Flag Blue” paint job, took roughly six weeks to complete. Trump, 79, made a series of bold claims about the Washington, D.C. pool in a Truth Social post on Friday, June 19.
"We've had some real problems with Vandalism at the beautiful Reflecting Pool, which sits between The Washington Monument and The Lincoln Memorial," Trump wrote on the social media platform.
“Just like three days ago, they destroyed the grass outside of the Pool, they've also done everything possible to hurt the inside surface that was just installed,” he continued, seemingly referring to the huge “8647” found etched into the grass at the National Mall.
(According to NBC Washington, the number “86” is a code used in the U.S. hospitality and restaurant industry meaning to "get rid of" something, while “47” is a reference to Trump being the 47th president.)
“The algae is 75% gone, and the condition will soon be completely remedied, and the area that was vandalized, fortunately, is just a small area of damage, and will be fixed early next week,” Trump wrote. “It's a shame that the Radical Left Lunatics, most likely Dumocats, who have spent their lives trying to ruin our Country, are free to do so," he added.
Joe Biden Left the Reflecting Pool Leaking 45,000 Gallons a Day and Trump Fixed It for $2 Million
Biden had four years to fix the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and handed Trump a landmark hemorrhaging water like a broken fire hydrant.
Now Trump has finished the job – and the left is furious he did it too fast and too cheap.
The Washington Post ran to a "color consultant" to tell America the new shade of blue would look "very dismal." Typical remark from a liberal.
The numbers tell the whole story. The Reflecting Pool was leaking 45,000 gallons of water every single day when Trump took office.
Expansion joints installed during the Obama era were draining 16 million gallons annually – costing taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars every year while nobody in the Biden White House lifted a finger.
Their answer to this disaster was Biden's proposal of $301 million requiring three and a half years to complete...Trump did it for 0.66% of Biden's estimate.
