President Donald Trump said he has a “credible source” who saw David Hearn “violently” vandalize the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
However, the lawsuit against the former Olympian was formally dropped last week.
Trump took to Truth Social to reveal his evidence.
“ALERT: A National Park Service career employee, a highly credible witness, saw David Hearn (ActBlue) in broad daylight vandalize the Reflecting Pool by ‘violently’ ripping and tugging at the Pool’s somewhat delicate coating,” Trump wrote.
“The National Park Service employee provided this witness testimony to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in early July, as seen below,” Trump continued in his post. “Numerous other events took place, including using an acid like material on the just installed grass adjoining the Pool. On it were written the letters, “86 47,” a phrase probably gotten from James Comey.”
Trump went on to write there is no video evidence of what happened.
“There was substantial other damage to the Reflecting Pool, also but, unfortunately, there is no video or proof, other than the damage, itself,” Trump wrote. “We are working on the Pool, and it will reopen shortly. As with many jobs, there was also some contractor error done by rushing the job for a July 4th opening, but it was a very small area of this massive Pool, and was relatively inconsequential. Security cameras have been, and are being, installed.”
