DOJ dismisses charges against Olympian David Hearn over pool damage

Published July 31, 2026 · Updated August 1, 2026 · The Guardian

The Justice Department has moved to dismiss criminal charges against Olympian David Hearn regarding damage to the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, blaming a contractor's flawed installation.

Lawyers now attribute the pool liner damage to a contractor's installation error rather than deliberate destruction by Hearn. The filing claims the damage occurred due to a rush to complete the project ahead of the America 250 celebration in 2026. grenadier.co.za
