Lincoln Pool Repair Gone Wrong | Raleigh News

About this episode

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool’s $1.5 million, one-week fix turned into a $20 million mess—drained twice, plagued by algae and peeling paint, with contractors the president claims he never used before. Critics cite past Obama-era repairs as failures, but those cost $34 million over two years and were completed on time. The promised 50-year leak-proof miracle? Now under fire for rushed installation, leading to dropped vandalism charges—blame falls on botched work, not mischief.
