Donald Trump Wants Another Legal Fight With ABC Over a Washington Landmark
Trump accuses ABC of false reporting and says the network omitted $100 million in renovation spending and damage blamed on vandals.
- On Monday night, President Donald Trump announced plans to sue ABC, accusing the network of false reporting on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovation costs.
- Trump alleged that Barack Obama and President Joe Biden spent over 100 Million Dollars on the pool, contrasting this with his administration's approximately 16 Million Dollars.
- The President claimed a "350-foot slit" was cut by vandals, though reports indicate the resurfaced bottom has cracked and peeled while algae continues to bloom.
- ABC faces investigations from the Federal Communications Commission regarding "equal time" rules and launched an on-air campaign urging viewers to support the network.
- Critics allege the President's frequent lawsuits against news outlets stifle press freedom, even as he prioritizes promoting Washington construction efforts despite ongoing renovation issues.
