In a press conference in the Oval Office on Monday, President Trump confirmed that five people have been arrested for vandalism targeting the newly restored Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC, and that five additional people are under investigation for the destruction.
Speaking with reporters, Trump said that there is a 350-foot-long slit cut into the Reflecting Pool’s new lining, with the perpetrator using "probably a box cutter or a knife of some kind," and people were lifting up the lining.
