Claim 7: “It wasn't Olympic athlete David Hearn. It wasn't any "vandal." It was a government employee, trying to mitigate the damage [who knifed the Reflecting Pool].”
DISPUTED
There is a direct conflict in the evidence. One source mentions the DOJ dropped the case against David Hearn and mentions contractor flaws, but another source explicitly states that President Trump insisted the incident 'was a pure case of VANDALISM' and that 'major damage was caused by VANDALS!', contradicting the claim that it was a government employee trying to mitigate damage.
