The United States Park Police has released surveillance images from the recently renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool as part of an investigation into the alleged destruction of government property amid scrutiny over the recently renovated landmark.
The footage, initially released Wednesday, appears to show an individual kneeling beside the Reflecting Pool and reaching into the water at around 3:30 p.m. on June 19.
Officials in the “information bulletin” did not characterize the person as a suspect.
The newly released images come as President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed the Reflecting Pool has been damaged and vandals cut the pool’s lining and used chemicals.
Scrutiny over Trump’s $14 million rehabilitation project for the landmark emerged after it turned chartreuse from an algae bloom just days after the renovation was completed.
Trump has warned that vandals of national monuments will face severe federal penalties, including prison sentences of up to 10 years.
