A judge in Washington, D.C., sets a Sept. 28 trial date for a former Olympic canoe racer charged with deliberately damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. The case centers on alleged vandalism at the national monument, which also sits near the ongoing renovation work associated with the Reflecting Pool area. Multiple outlets report that the defendant is an ex-Olympian and that the charges relate specifically to damage to the Reflecting Pool. One report notes the renovation project’s troubled history and describes it as a multimillion-dollar effort that has been publicly championed by President Donald Trump. Another emphasizes the scheduling decision, stating that the court schedules the matter for late September. The reporting is consistent that the next formal step in the case is the trial date set by the judge in the nation’s capital. The sources do not indicate the outcome of the charges or provide details of the alleged damage beyond the claim that it was deliberate and occurred at the Reflecting Pool.
