纽约6月21日路透电——美国检察官珍妮·皮罗周日表示，在华盛顿国家广场的林肯纪念堂倒影池实施破坏行为的人员将被全面起诉。
唐纳德·特朗普总统将这座新近翻新的水池近期出现的问题归咎于破坏行为，包括新涂的蓝色油漆剥落。皮罗周日表示，当局已开出破坏行为罚单，并补充称，即便轻微罪行也必须起诉，以保障美国首都的安全。

这座长2000英尺的长方形水池是重要的国家地标，特朗普6月6日宣布其耗资1470万美元的翻新工程完工还不到两周，池面上就出现了油漆剥落的痕迹。特朗普周六在没有提供证据的情况下声称，破坏者向水池中倾倒了腐蚀性化学物质。
“任何实施或企图实施破坏行为的人，都将在华盛顿特区面临刑事司法系统的制裁，”皮罗在接受福克斯新闻《周日简报》节目采访时说道。
该水池还遭遇了藻华，导致池水看起来发绿。皮罗表示，任何向水池中投放可引发藻类生长的物品的人，可能面临更严重的指控。
国家公园管理局的工作人员本周早些时候向水池中投放了过氧化氢以应对藻华问题。
特朗普最早于周五提出破坏行为指控，他在社交媒体上发帖称75%的藻类已经消失。他还指责美国广播公司新闻记者乔纳森·卡尔“试图扯下水池表面的橡胶涂层”。美国广播公司未立即回复置评请求。

NEW YORK, June 21 (Reuters) – People caught vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on Washington’s National Mall will be fully prosecuted, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said on Sunday.
President Donald Trump has blamed vandalism for recent problems with the newly renovated pool, including its new blue paint peeling off. Citations for vandalism have been issued, Pirro said on Sunday, adding that even minor crimes must be prosecuted to keep the U.S. capital safe.

The peeling paint was visible in the 2,000-foot-long rectangular pool, a major national landmark, less than two weeks after Trump declared its $14.7 million renovation project completed on June 6. Trump on Saturday claimed, without providing evidence, that vandals poured corrosive chemicals into the pool.
“Anyone who is in a position of vandalizing or attempting to vandalize will face the criminal justice system in D.C.,” Pirro told Fox News’ “Sunday Briefing” program.
The pool has also suffered an algae bloom that makes the water look green. Those adding products to the pool that can generate algae could face more severe charges, Pirro said.
Workers from the National Park Service earlier this week poured hydrogen peroxide into the pool to combat the algae.
Trump first brought up allegations of vandalism on Friday, when he posted on social media that 75% of the algae is gone. He also accused ABC News journalist Jonathan Karl of “trying to rip the rubber off of the surface” of the pool. ABC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
