La administración Trump presiona al Servicio de Parques Nacionales por la reparación de $16 millones del Reflecting Pool

El Servicio de Parques Nacionales enfrentó una presión política intensificada en Washington, D. C. , después de que la administración Trump criticara la renovación de $16 millones del Reflecting Pool del Monumento a Lincoln. Anteriormente, la Casa Blanca solicitó al Departamento de Justicia que reconsiderara presentar nuevos cargos contra el exolímpico David Hearn, tras la desestimación de su acusación de vandalismo por parte de la fiscal federal Jeanine Pirro y un juez federal.

Un comité de la Cámara de Representantes abrió una investigación sobre la anulación del caso, mientras el presidente Donald Trump pasó de culpar a vándalos a reconocer que un error del contratista también contribuyó al daño. La controversia comenzó cuando Trump acusó a vándalos de dañar la piscina, aunque los fiscales señalaron una instalación defectuosa como la causa. Subsecuentes documentos judiciales y declaraciones públicas mantuvieron vivo el debate mientras la piscina permanecía cerrada para reparaciones.
