美国总统唐纳德·特朗普表示，周一已排空林肯纪念堂倒影池以进行维修，并表示该池“将重新注满水，很快恢复使用”，他再次声称是 vandal 割破了池底衬里。
CNN记者观察到，池内大部分水体已被排空，露出了原本应该是全新翻新的池底上的干燥沉积物、藻类和一些碎屑。特朗普此前曾将这种蓝色称为“美国国旗蓝”。
自特朗普今年4月呼吁翻新该倒影池以来，这项耗资超1400万美元的工程一直麻烦不断：大量藻类爆发、水体呈绿色、池底涂层剥落，还出现了 vandalism 的指控。
特朗普周一晚间在Truth Social平台上发帖称：“我们今天排空了美丽的‘倒影池’，以修复两周前 vandals 造成的伤痕和破坏。”
“这些暴徒在池底割出了300码长的切口，用力将池底割开并掀了起来，”特朗普在帖文中写道。
特朗普最新声称衬里上的切口“长300码”——也就是900英尺，相当于三个足球场的长度——这比他此前的说法要长得多，而且他的说法已经多次变长。
他最初称切口长250英尺，后来又称“实际上有多处长长的切口，总长度超过350英尺”。
CNN团队周一傍晚晚些时候到访该池，并未在新安装的衬里上发现任何明显的长切口痕迹，但由于该地标大部分区域已加装围栏，他们无法查看整个池面。

CNN已联系内政部、国家公园管理局和美国公园警察，询问在池内大部分水体排空后，他们是否发现池底衬里有切口痕迹。
“公园管理部门不得不排空池水，以修复这个防水池盆，”特朗普周一晚间表示，“它很快就会重新注满水，恢复使用。这些憎恨国家的卑鄙小人应该为造成的破坏付出惨重代价。”
特朗普周一晚间再次发帖，抱怨有关该倒影池的新闻报道，并坚称衬里“被刀具或美工刀割破”，甚至藻类爆发也是“ vandals 造成的”。
近几周来，至少有三人因涉嫌从池内拆除蓝色油漆部件而被指控破坏财产，他们最近均已提出无罪抗辩。一名曾参加奥运会的皮划艇运动员戴维·赫恩也因同样罪名被起诉，已于上周提出无罪抗辩。

内政部长道格·伯古姆7月5日在CNN《国情咨文》节目采访中表示，政府“完全可以”证明破坏行为是 vandals 所为，并称有照片为证。但他回避了一个问题：这些照片是否显示有人正在破坏倒影池。
伯古姆上周在一档播客中表示，工作人员在独立日烟花表演结束后开始排空池水，并指出水中仍残留有部分烟花碎屑。
Trump says Reflecting Pool has been drained and will be ‘put back into service soon’

President Donald Trump said the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was drained Monday to make repairs and that it “will be refilled and put back into service soon,” again claiming that vandals gashed the pool’s lining.
CNN observed that much of the water had been drained, revealing dried sediment, algae and some debris on what was supposed to be a freshly renovated landmark painted what Trump previously called “American flag blue.
Since Trump called for the pool’s renovation in April, the more than $14 million project has been plagued by massive algae blooms, green-hued water, a chipping bottom and allegations of vandalism.
The president said Monday night on Truth Social, “We drained the beautiful ‘Reflecting Pool’ today in order to fix the scars and damage that was done by the Vandals two weeks ago.”
“The slashes were 300 yards long, and the floor of the pool was cut and then pulled upward, with great force, by these thugs,” Trump said in the post.
Trump’s latest claim that the gashes in the lining were “300 yards long” — which would be 900 feet, or the length of three football fields — is considerably longer than his past claims, which have increased in length several times.
He first called it a 250-foot cut and later claimed there were “actually numerous slashes over a very long 350 foot length.”
A CNN crew visited the pool late Monday afternoon and did not notice any obvious signs of long gashes in the recently installed lining, but they were not able to access the full length of the pool because of fencing that has been installed around much of the landmark.

CNN has reached out to the Department of the Interior, the National Park Service and US Park Police to ask if they found evidence of gashes in the pool lining now that most of the pool has been drained.
“The Parks Department had to empty the water in order to fix the water tight basin,” the president said Monday night. “It will be refilled and put back into service soon. These Country hating sleazebags should pay a big price for the damage done.”
Trump posted again later Monday night, complaining about news reports on the pool and insisting the lining “was slashed with a knife, or a box cutter” and that even the algae blooms were “caused by vandals.”
In recent weeks, at least three people were charged with destruction of property after allegedly removing pieces of blue paint from the pool — they all recently pleaded not guilty. And a former Olympic canoeist, David Hearn, indicted on the same charge pleaded not guilty last week.

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, in a July 5 interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” said the government could “absolutely” prove the damage was caused by vandals, and that there are photographs supporting the claim. But he dodged a question about whether those photographs show anyone damaging the pool.
Bergum said on a podcast last week that crews began draining the pool after the July Fourth fireworks show, noting that some of the fireworks debris was still in the water.
