Citations for vandalism have been issued, Pirro said on Sunday, adding that even minor crimes must be prosecuted to keep the US capital safe.
The peeling paint was visible in the 610-metre-long (2,000-ft) rectangular pool, a major national landmark, less than two weeks after Trump declared its US$14.7 million renovation project completed on June 6. Trump on Saturday claimed, without providing evidence, that vandals poured corrosive chemicals into the pool.

The pool has also suffered an algae bloom that makes the water look green. Those adding products to the pool that can generate algae could face more severe charges, Pirro said.AdvertisementSelect VoiceSelect Speed0.
