President Trump posted on Truth Social claiming vandals caused dead grass patches on the National Mall lawn between the World War II Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, along with damage at the World War II Memorial itself. Supported reports confirm spray-painting and soap in fountains at the memorial, leading to felony charges against one individual, while claims linking the grass damage to specific events or prior construction remain unverified. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro's office handled the charges, and Trump publicly criticized the office's findings on the Reflecting Pool.
