Witness in Reflecting Pool case conceded damage before canoeist touched water

A key grand jury witness in a case against a former Olympic canoeist accused of tampering with the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool testified that the area was already damaged and would have required repairs regardless, lawyers said in a court filing Monday.

David “Davey” Hearn was indicted this month and accused of damaging the liner of the long, shallow pool near the Washington Monument. Hearn, who has pleaded not guilty, previously told NBC News that “the condition of the Reflecting Pool was the same after I stepped away from the water as it was before I got there.”

President Donald Trump blamed vandals for the issues with the pool after he announced a plan to coat the bottom with “American flag blue” ahead of America’s 250th birthday. The project faced several setbacks, and the cost grew considerably beyond his original estimates. The coating began coming up and algae flooded the water once the pool was refilled.

15-year-old shot into Seattle food festival crowd during deadly gunfight, prosecutors allege

Officials said the teen and a 19-year-old man who died at the scene were “associates.” Police are looking for a third person who may have been involved.

A judge ordered a 15-year-old held in juvenile detention Monday in connection with a gunfight at a crowded Seattle food festival that killed three people and injured at least four others.

Prosecutors said the gunfight involved the 15-year-old, a 19-year-old man who died at the scene and possibly a third person. Officials said the shooting could be gang-related.

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson said police continue to investigate what happened and how many people were involved.

“We now know that at least two people exchanged gunfire outside the Seattle Center Armory. One is in custody, and a second has been identified as the 19-year-old deceased man,” Wilson said at a news conference Monday afternoon.

NEW: Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear is demanding in a new letter that Mitch McConnell "directly and verbally address the people of Kentucky and provide proof of your capacity to serve, or resign."

Where’s Mitch?!:

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear (D) hit ailing Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) with an ultimatum in his latest demand for transparency about the current state of his health.

In a new letter sent to McConnell on Tuesday, Beshear’s ultimatum is simple: Speak up, or resign.

The letter comes a day after McConnell’s office released a new proof-of-life photo of the senator alongside his wife, Elaine Chao, and a vague update.

Beshear: "There's an argument that August 3 is a date where I could not later call a special. Those that are really pushing this are under the impression a Dem might be able to win. It's been since '92 that we had a Dem senator in KY … not having McConnell show up isn't necessarily a bad thing"
