Richard Arnold: US Correspondent on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool charges, Trump's attack on Attorney Jeanine Pirro
About this episode
Donald Trump continues to lash out over the damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
The US President's turned his attack on Attorney for Washington DC Jeanine Pirro – claiming she choked and folded like an umbrella in moving to drop charges over the pool's restoration.
After initially charging four people with vandalism, the Justice Department found damage to the $14 million lining instead came from a flawed, rushed contractor installation.
US correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking the damage was due to the incompetence of Trump's "pool guy" from Florida.
