Washington — President Trump on Monday said proof will be provided in court of his allegations that vandals "cut" a massive slit in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which he claims is the reason the paint is peeling on the recently renovated but algae-plagued project. 

In an exchange with CBS News senior White House correspondent Ed O'Keefe, Mr. Trump insisted that vandals, rather than questionable craftsmanship, are responsible for the enduring problems following the $14.7 million sealant job. The president claimed vandals cut a 350-foot slit in the pool between the World War II Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial. 

Five people have been arrested for vandalism related to the Reflecting Pool, and five additional individuals were issued federal citations, according to the U.S. Park Police, although neither the company behind the project nor the U.S. Park Service has said a cut slit was responsible for the peeling. 

Asked if he had proof, such as photos or video, that vandals used a knife to cut a massive slit in the pool, Mr. Trump responded: "Well, let's put it this way, when you have a 350, I think it's 350, not 250, when you have a 350-foot slit, from one end to the other, you think that's proof? You think that's proof?" 

O'Keefe noted that reporters had been to the site and found no evidence of a slit.

Good thing there are cameras on the reflecting pool; proving vandals cut a 350 foot long slit should be simple.

Slit?

Update:  it turns out the evidence is locked up in a bonded warehouse (next to the vote fraud evidence) and the GOP needs to pay a hundred billion dollar storage fee to get it released.

I blame photosynthesis. Which is a libtard plot to make us all trans. Trump will issue an EO blocking photosynthesis and defunding states that refuse to comply.

Where is the evidence?

Also, this is a polymer that should BOND to the substrate. It isn't like it is a laminate sheet. It is NOT applied as a sheet good. It is applied as a coating. So, if applied correctly, it seems impossible to "slit."

If a crime really took place I hope they hold people accountable.  This also includes the contractor.

Problems with the Reflecting Pool have been ongoing since its 1924 completion. A 2009 National Park Service report details two cleanings in 1978 during which 10 to 15 truckloads of debris were removed from the pool each time. Weeks after a $34 million renovation under former President Barack Obama's administration, the pool was covered in algae, The Washington Post reported at the time.

Why don't the chlorinate the pool and put in three fountains?

So, Obama spent twice as much and they still had algae.
