Olympian charged in Reflecting Pool vandalism tied to Dem fundraising giant

Hearn, 67, donated to Democratic fundraising apparatus ActBlue 10 times while also contributing to Barack Obama's presidential campaigns five times, an administration official told Fox News Digital.

Hearn was charged with a misdemeanor for destruction of government property Saturday after he reached into the water and allegedly grabbed a hose being used by a National Park Service worker, Fox News previously reported. The Reflecting Pool was drained and painted under President Donald Trump's direction, sparking scrutiny over peeling paint and algae growth.

An administration official told Fox News Digital that five people have been arrested on vandalism charges, while federal citations were issued to five additional individuals.

There have been 14 police reports filed for vandalism, the official added.

Fox News Digital reached out to NPS for comment.
