President Donald Trump escalated his criticism Sunday over the dismissed Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool vandalism case, pointing to a National Park Service employee's account that former Olympian David Hearn "violently" ripped and tugged at the pool's coating before authorities arrived.
Trump shared a screenshot from court documents on Truth Social that detailed interviews with two National Park Service employees who were cleaning the interior of the Reflecting Pool when Hearn approached the area.
According to the document, one employee, identified as W-1, said Hearn initially used his cellphone to take what the employee believed were photos or video of damage to the pool.

The employee then alleged Hearn "knelt, placed both hands into the reflecting pool, below the surface of the water, and started to 'violently' rip and tug at a large portion of the blue pool coating," according to the document Trump posted.
