Federal prosecutors drop charges in Reflecting Pool vandalism cases
Federal prosecutors have dropped charges against three individuals accused of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, following the dismissal of a felony case against former Olympic canoeist David Hearn. The decision was influenced by evidence suggesting that the damage was caused by flawed construction rather than vandalism, a claim supported by President Trump and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum. The defendants faced misdemeanor charges, and the dismissals have resulted in job losses for some.
