A former Olympic athlete has entered a not guilty plea in a case related to damage at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. The defendant, a 67-year-old from Maryland, is accused of deliberately causing damage to the pool, which had recently undergone renovations.

The case has drawn criticism from some, who claim it is an abuse of power. The Reflecting Pool's renovation was a project initiated by President Donald Trump ahead of the country's 250th independence celebrations. However, the pool experienced problems, including damage to its new coating.
