7:40Now PlayingTrump claimed six people have been arrested for vandalizing the pool and blamed the damage on them, insisting there were acts of "pure vandalism."
But the president also deferred questions about the criminal investigation and the proof of intentional damage to the pool to the National Park Service, which manages the National Mall where the pool is located, and its parent organization, the Department of the Interior. Neither agency responded immediately to USA TODAY's request for comment on the alleged vandalism.
Fencing has been put around the pool throughout the spring during the two-month-long renovations, which Trump insisted were completed June 6. Since then, the pool has been plagued with issues like green algae discoloring large portions of the water and paint peeling off and rising to the pool's surface.
