Lawsuit challenges Reflecting Pool project as costs soar

Season 2026 Episode 97 | 5m 23s

A non-profit group suing to stop President Trump's Reflecting Pool renovation on the National Mall claims the project breaks federal law. Last month, the president announced the pool would be repainted blue. The New York Times is also reporting that its initial cost of less than two million dollars has now ballooned to seven times that figure. Amna Nawaz discussed more with David Fahrenthold.
