Reflecting Pool & Politics

Peter Charalambous from ABC News updates on the reflecting pool drama in Washington D.C., revealing that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has acknowledged the damage was due to a botched installation by a contractor, not vandalism. The DOJ has dropped charges against former Olympian David Hearn, and his attorneys are demanding an apology. The president initially disagreed but later retracted his statements. The conversation shifts to broader criticisms of the Trump administration’s actions and policies, including inflation and international relations, with callers expressing varying opinions on the president’s handling of these issues.
