Trump Admits Contractor Error in DC Reflecting Pool Renovation, but Still Blames Ex Olympian for Vandalism – Live Donald Trump's continued blame shifting from his own administration to innocent individuals is a symptom of a deeper problem: the willingness to disregard facts and manipulate public opinion for personal or partisan gain.
His initial admission of "some contractor error" in the renovation process was a rare moment of candor, but his insistence on the guilt of former Olympian David Hearn remains a stark reminder that this administration has no qualms about playing fast and loose with truth.
The justice department dismissed all charges against Hearn due to evidence pointing to a botched renovation.
