Damage to Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool's liner was caused by a sharp knife or razor, according to the National Park Service. The incident occurred in June, causing damage to the foam sealant and destruction of surrounding materials. Seven people have been arrested, and the Trump administration has repeatedly blamed unidentified vandals for the problems. The administration's work on the project, which includes painting the pool blue, has been plagued by issues and vandalism.
