Trump's $14M reflecting pool is turning green

President Donald Trump's more than $14 million Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovation was completed just over a week ago, with its more than 300,000 square feet refilled with 6.5 million gallons of clean water.

But already it's been hit with a problem that has haunted administrations for decades: algae.

Over the past week, the Trump administration has jumped into action, sending crews clad in hip-waders to vacuum up the clumps of algae and on Tuesday, dispatching workers to dump gallons of hydrogen peroxide in the pool.

CNN senior White House reporter Betsy Klein has the details, and CNN's Kasie Hunt debates Trump's renovations with her panel on The Arena.
