In a post on <u>Truth Social<\/u> on Friday, Trump warned the alleged vandals would be \u201cprosecuted to the MAX,\u201d saying crews are \u201clooking for a Vandal Proof material, but such a thing should not have been necessary.\u201d At least seven people have been <u>arrested<\/u> in connection with alleged vandalism. But the pool, which is now drained, does not appear to have visible signs of damage. CNN reporters who visited the pool said there are no obvious signs of vandalism, but noted some of the view is obstructed by fencing. A Washington Post analysis, based on satellite imagery and interviews with experts, found the lining appears to be peeling in about seven places, indicating potential problems with how it was installed.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=1710\">Jersey Mike\u2019s IPO Could Hand Existing Shareholders $742 Million<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>What Do We Know About Hearn\u2019s Charge?<\/h2>\n<p>Hearn, a 67-year-old former Olympic canoeist, <u>said<\/u> he biked near the reflecting pool on June 19 and reached down to grab a flap of the pool\u2019s liner that appeared to already be peeling, though he said he did not \u201cdestroy or break or peel anything.\u201d Hearn\u2019s lawyer Norm Eisen has <u>said<\/u> every American \u201cshould be alarmed by this prosecution,\u201d calling Hearn a \u201cscapegoat\u201d for the Trump administration\u2019s \u201cfailures\u201d to repair the pool.<\/p>\n<h2>key background<\/h2>\n<p>The Trump administration\u2019s repairs to the pool have been plagued by ballooning costs, persistent algae and a peeling liner.
