How Washington DC's Reflecting Pool became a global talking point

A liner along the bottom of the Reflecting Pool in Washington DC was cut with a sharp knife or razor earlier this month, an official at the National Park Service has said.

Frank Lands, deputy director of operations for the park service, said in a court filing on Thursday that US Park Police had responded to a report of an incident on 9 June regarding the pool's liner, which caused damage to the foam sealant that had been installed as part of a recent multi-million dollar rehabilitation project.

Earlier this week, US President Donald Trump blamed vandals for "a 300-foot-long gash" and accused someone of putting fertiliser in the water.
