Interior dept says Reflecting Pool is 'crystal clear'

Some blue material at the bottom of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is peeling off, days after the pool was painted blue and refilled as part of a multi-million dollar renovation ordered by President Donald Trump.

Not long after the newly renovated pool was filled with water earlier this month, algae discolored the water.
