Tuesday in the U.s. District Court for the District of Columbia, TCLF Asked a Judge to Allow Experts to Assess the Pool Before Further

The filing cites a Justice Department statement that the damage was due to a "rushed and botched installation" by a contractor, contradicting earlier claims of vandalism. TCLF sued the Interior Department in May, alleging the renovation violated federal historic preservation laws. Charges were dropped last week against former Olympic canoeist David Hearn, who had been arrested over the vandalism.
