He says he was photographed, fingerprinted, and returned to a cell without being allowed a phone call.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNobody really knew I was there,\u201d Hearn told Hayes. \u201cI was held incommunicado that whole time. Was never read my rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sitting alongside Hearn, his attorney was scathing. \u201cThere\u2019s no basis for this.

He maintains he is a \u201ccurious citizen\u201d who damaged nothing. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t destroy or break or peel anything,\u201d he previously told The Washington Post. \u201cBy the time I realized what was going on, I was being put in handcuffs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2042\">Republican Senator, 73, Busted Making Crucial SCOTUS Math Error<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The arrest is part of a saga that is spiraling into farce. Trump\u2019s decision to repaint the basin \u201cAmerican flag blue\u201d ahead of the nation\u2019s 250th anniversary on July 4 appears to have increased heat absorption and triggered the worst algae bloom in years. <\/p>\n<p>Workers vacuuming the slime and dousing it in hydrogen peroxide have made things worse, with blue paint peeling off in sheets and a dead duckling spotted floating in the murk.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than own the botched job, Trump, 80, has blamed shadowy \u201cleftist\u201d vandals, posting on Truth Social that \u201cSICK, DERANGED PEOPLE\u201d had sabotaged the pool. The U.S. Park Police and National Guard have since been deployed to patrol the National Mall.<\/p>\n<p>The White House is standing firm.
