WATCH: Reflecting Pool refills after Trump paint job [BXRK0nzu8AO]

The Reflecting Pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial is once again filled with water following President Donald Trump's renovations. Crews began work in April after Trump announced plans to repaint the landmark's floor in what he calls "American flag blue." While Trump put the cost of the project at around $1.5 million to $2 million, federal records indicate that around $14 million worth of contracts have been awarded so far.
