“U.S. Olympic canoeist David ‘Davey’ Hearn pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Thursday in connection with alleged damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. … He is among at least four people facing charges in connection with the alleged tampering of the pool, which President Donald Trump began renovating this spring. The U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, Jeanine Pirro, alleges Hearn was seen ‘forcefully and violently pulling up and removing the bottom liner’ of the pool with both hands on June 19. Hearn’s legal team says he is innocent and calls the charges ‘outrageous.'” (07/09/26)
