WATCH: Department of Interior Releases Never-Before-Seen Footage of Vandals at Reflecting Pool as Fake News Media in Denial

The Interior Department on Tuesday released surveillance footage showing two individuals “destroying and removing a piece of the lining and attempting destruction” of the Reflecting Pool at the Lincoln Memorial, the Department says.

Deranged liberals have been tearing out the new American flag blue sealant that lines the bottom of the pool with the intention of giving the water a blue reflection. Several arrests were made over the weekend.

The vandals also inscribed “86 47,” calling for Trump’s death, on the grass of the National Mall and on the bottom of the Reflecting Pool in recent days.

Employees were seen erecting a fence around the Reflecting Pool on Tuesday as Trump says repairs are set to begin imminently.

Video provided to Fox News shows a male and a female reaching deep into the Reflecting Pool last Friday in what is allegedly an act of vandalism.

“In the video, you are seeing two suspects observed destroying and removing a piece of the lining and attempting destruction of the lining,” the Department of the Interior said in a statement.

“This incident took place on June 19, 2026, and we are investigating. Destroying, injuring, defacing or removing cultural or archeological resources is a federal crime.”

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump went off on the Fake News media in the Oval Office on Monday when they attempted to deny that vandalism of the pool is occurring. “You’ll see it in court, you’ll see it in court, but all you have to do is call the Parks Department, call the Department of Interior, and I don’t know if their lawyers will allow you to speak to them because you know you write fake— you write fake news, but call the Interior Department,” Trump told reporters when asked for proof of the vandalism.

This comes after ABC’s Jonathan Karl attempted to troll Trump in a social media video on Friday, highlighting the “astounding developments surrounding this project which the President, himself, has taken such a great interest in.”

“You remember $14 million was spent to drain this whole thing and to paint the bottom American flag blue,” Karl said. “As you can see, it’s all green now. They know that. They’re trying to kill the algae, but as they’re doing that, something else has happened,” he added, reaching into the water to grab the rubber sealant and celebrate the vandalism. Karl didn’t mention that deranged leftists are actually trying to rip the rubber out.

Trump previously responded, blasting Karl as a “lightweight” for “sticking his hand into the Pool, and trying to rip the rubber off of the surface.”

On Tuesday, Trump announced that lawsuits are being prepared against ABC. “We are preparing lawsuits against ABC for false reporting. I like their money, which will be given to the U.S. Treasury!” Trump said.
