Crews again drain Trump’s troubled reflecting pool

Workers observed draining water from Lincoln Memorial pool plagued by algae blooms and peeling paint

Crews were observed Friday draining the plagued Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, a landmark at the heart of Donald Trump's mission to beautify Washington DC.

Interior secretary Doug Burgum, whose agency oversees the National Park Service, told conservative podcaster Katie Miller in an interview released earlier this week that the new round of draining was planned. He also said that the water might still contain debris from an extensive Independence Day fireworks display over the National Mall.
