WASHINGTON, D.C. – Over the weekend, President Donald Trump acknowledged there’s no video or photo evidence to support his claims of vandalism at the reflecting pool. Although he now seems to acknowledge the damage done to the pool’s surface was from contractor error, he still claims vandals did damage, too.
