Crews are draining the Lincoln Memorial's Reflecting Pool again as President Donald Trump's problem-plagued effort to renovate the site pushes past his initial July 4 deadline

Crews began draining the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on Sunday, according to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, for the second time in three months.

President Donald Trump sought to have the Reflecting Pool’s renovation completed before July 4, though algae blooms and peeled sealant have hindered the makeover.
