A lot of questions. I mean, look, it is just crazy that Donald Trump has been obsessed with this reflecting pool, giving contracts to his donor friends, having no bids to fix this reflecting pool. Yet he's not going to focus, of course, on the things that Americans actually care about, which is affordability, the groceries, the price of rent, the cost for childcare. And the president continues to lie, Not just about the reflecting pool, but about the destruction of all of our monuments across D .C. And so we are launching an investigation. We've sent out information to the two companies that are involved with the reflecting pool. We may not get answers from the White House, but we expect both of these companies to provide us answers as to what is going on, what are they promised at the White House, what are the White House's assets to do, and why this has been a complete failure.
