Trump Concedes There Was ‘Some Contractor Error’ at Reflecting Pool
"President Trump on Sunday said on social media that the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool’s problems were caused in part by “some contractor error done by rushing the job for a July 4th opening.” It was a change in rhetoric for the president, who had spent weeks falsely blaming the pool’s problems on vandals.
The Trump administration’s efforts to rush through repairs to the pool, a national landmark, ended in disaster earlier this year. A hastily installed blue lining began to peel up, and new water-purification systems failed to prevent a huge bloom of algae that turned the pool green.
Mr. Trump responded to the tears in the blue lining with falsehoods, saying that it had been slashed by vandals. The U.S. attorney in Washington, Jeanine Pirro, charged at least seven people with vandalizing the pool, then dropped at least some of the cases after she discovered that the repair job had failed on its own, she said."
