A court filing from NPS Deputy Director for Operations Frank Lands said US Park Police responded June 9 to damage at the pool after the rehabilitation project was largely finished.

The damage included caulk over foam sealant cut with a sharp knife or razor, destruction of delaminating surface material, and about 70 fence post tops thrown into the water.

The Department of the Interior also said there had been seven arrests, seven federal citations, and 18 police reports tied to the site.

So much for the idea that Trump simply invented vandalism because the pool turned green.

The familiar ritual began almost all at once: Trump blamed vandals, his critics laughed, and the Reflecting Pool became a ready-made metaphor for his administration.

Newsbusters shared the quantity of stories the MSM dedicated to the Reflecting Pool. Funny enough, CNN seemed obsessed.

For whatever reason, CNN was uniquely obsessed with the condition of the reflecting pool, racking up a whopping 215 minutes and 37 seconds of coverage in under ten days. In just the past week, CNN dedicated 207 minutes and 45 seconds solely to the reflecting pool—approximately 30 minutes per day.

The seriousness of the CNN's reporting varied wildly, spanning from embarrassingly earnest to dripping with sarcasm. On one end of the spectrum was correspondent Sunlen Serfaty, who was conducting on-site "investigations" into the water's phosphate levels without a hint of detectable irony. On the other end of things was a thoroughly amused John Berman, the co-anchor for CNN News Central, who provided viewers with routine tongue-in-cheek updates:

People who would call a spray-painted statue an attack on democracy suddenly found vandalism near the Lincoln Memorial amusing, or too politically convenient to condemn. Not to mention billions in fraud in several states weren't as critical for investigative journalists to dig into. But they investigated the ever-loving heck out of the Reflecting Pool.

The filing doesn't prove every detail Trump has claimed. It doesn't settle whether vandalism caused every algae problem, every peel, or every repair issue. But it does prove the central thing the mockers refused to consider: vandalism happened. The pool was damaged, sharp tools were involved, and police reports exist.

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum's department oversees the National Park Service, and the agency's own sworn account now backs the basic claim that the Reflecting Pool was hit by intentional damage... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
