特朗普称其关于破坏者划破倒影池涂层的指控将在法庭上出示证据

华盛顿——总统特朗普周一表示,将在法庭上出示证据,以支持他的指控:破坏者在林肯纪念堂倒影池上“划开”了一道巨大裂口,他称这正是近期翻新但饱受藻类困扰的该项目出现涂层剥落的原因。

在与哥伦比亚广播公司新闻白宫资深记者埃德·奥基夫的交流中,特朗普先生坚称,这项耗资1470万美元的密封工程之后出现的持续性问题,应由破坏者而非存在瑕疵的施工工艺负责。总统声称,破坏者在二战纪念碑与林肯纪念堂之间的倒影池上划开了一道350英尺长的裂口。据美国公园警察称,已有五人因与倒影池相关的破坏行为被捕,另有五人收到了联邦传票,但该项目的承建公司和美国公园管理局均未表示涂层剥落是由裂口造成的。

当被问及是否拥有诸如照片或视频之类的证据,证明破坏者用刀具在池面上划开了一道巨大裂口时,特朗普先生回应道:“嗯,这么说吧,当你看到一道350英尺长的裂口——我想是350英尺,不是250英尺——从一端延伸到另一端,你觉得这算不算证据?你觉得这能算证据吗?”

奥基夫指出,记者曾前往现场,并未发现任何裂口的痕迹。

“那你得去公园管理局看看。他们会给你看证据,或者去找部长,不过我见过了,”特朗普先生说,他大概率是指内政部长道格·伯古姆。“他们划开了涂层,划得非常粗暴。池面也是一样,他们划开了涂层,然后掀了起来。他们撬了起来,情况就是这样。”

在为该项目辩护后,总统表示:“我们还有照片。”

奥基夫请总统出示其指控的证据。

“没错,在恰当的时机你们会看到的,”特朗普先生说。“你们会在法庭上看到的。你们会在法庭上看到的,但你们只要打电话给公园管理局、给内政部就行。”

总统还暗示,可能有人往水中投放了化肥,从而催生了工作人员一直在清理的藻类。

“如果你往水里投放化肥,就会滋生藻类,但有人说他们可能投放了化肥,他们做了些事来催生藻类,”特朗普先生说,他再次未为自己的指控提供证据。

哥伦比亚广播公司新闻已联系美国国家公园管理局和内政部。截至目前,尚未得到回应。

大西洋工业涂料公司(Atlantic Industrial Coatings)获得了一份无竞标合同,负责为倒影池池面安装密封层。该公司告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻,有“部分区域”“需要维修”。

“这些区域只是这座占地7英亩的大型项目中极小的一部分,并不表明衬层出现了故障,”该公司表示。“必须等到池水排干后才能进行这些维修。只要公园方面条件允许,池水就会被排干,AIC将按照保修条款返回现场完成必要的维修。”

Trump says proof of his allegations that vandals cut Reflecting Pool paint will be provided in court

Washington — President Trump on Monday said proof will be provided in court of his allegations that vandals “cut” a massive slit in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which he claims is the reason the paint is peeling on the recently renovated but algae-plagued project.

In an exchange with CBS News senior White House correspondent Ed O’Keefe, Mr. Trump insisted that vandals, rather than questionable craftsmanship, are responsible for the enduring problems following the $14.7 million sealant job. The president claimed vandals cut a 350-foot slit in the pool between the World War II Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial. Five people have been arrested for vandalism related to the Reflecting Pool, and five additional individuals were issued federal citations, according to the U.S. Park Police, although neither the company behind the project nor the U.S. Park Service has said a cut slit was responsible for the peeling.

Asked if he had proof, such as photos or video, that vandals used a knife to cut a massive slit in the pool, Mr. Trump responded: “Well, let’s put it this way, when you have a 350, I think it’s 350, not 250, when you have a 350-foot slit, from one end to the other, you think that’s proof? You think that’s proof?”

O’Keefe noted that reporters had been to the site and found no evidence of a slit.

“Well, you’d have to go see the Parks Department. They’ll show it to you, or see, see the secretary, but I saw it,” Mr. Trump said, likely referencing Interior Secretary Doug Burgum. “They cut it, they cut it very violently. The same thing with the floor, they cut it, and then they lifted it. They pulled it, and that’s what it is.”

After defending the project, the president said, “We also have pictures.”

O’Keefe asked the president for evidence of his claims.

“Yeah, at the right time you’ll see it,” Mr. Trump said. “You’ll see it in court. You’ll see it in court, but all you have to do is call the Parks Department, call the Department of Interior.”

The president also suggested someone may have placed fertilizer in the water to create the algae that teams have been attempting to clear.

“If you put fertilizer in the water, you get algae, but somebody said they might have put fertilizer, they did something to create the algae,” the president said, again without providing evidence for his claims.

CBS News has reached out to the National Park Service and the Department of the Interior. So far, there’s been no response.

Atlantic Industrial Coatings, which received a no-bid contract to install the sealant on the floor of the Reflecting Pool, told CBS News there are “some areas” that “require repairs.”

“These areas are a very small part of the massive 7-acre project, and do not indicate a failure of the liner,” the company said. “These repairs can not be made until the pool is drained. As soon as it’s feasible for the park, the pool will be drained and AIC will be back to make those needed repairs as part of the warranty.”
