A man alleged to have vanadalised the Washington DC Reflecting Pool has been revealed as a repeat Democrat donor. David Hearn, 67, was arrested on Friday and charged with a misdemeanor for destruction of Government property after he allegedly grabbed a National Park Service worker's hose and reached into the water. The former Olympic canoeist has now been revealed to have donated to a number of Democrat-linked causes, a Trump administration told Fox News. Mr Hearn made contributions to Barack Obama's presidential campaigns five times, and donated to Democrat fundraising platform Act Blue on 10 occasions.

It has also drawn controversy over its foreign donations, which saw probes launched into suspected donor fraud. However, the 67-year-old has denied vandlaising the pool, telling the BBC he "didn't destroy, rip, tear, peel, or remove any part" of the Reflecting Pool's paint. He added: "The condition of any part of the reflecting pool didn't change, it wasn't affected. "It was the same before I got there as when I walked away from it." Mr Hearn blasted his arrest as an "arbitrary, capricious prosecution". According to the Trump administration, five people have been arrested for vandalism offences related to the Reflecting Pool, while five others remain under investigation. Following the 67-year-old's arrest, the US President wrote on his Truth Social platform: "Many additional people have been arrested having to do with the disgraceful vandalism of our beautiful Reflecting Pool.
