Hearn said he stopped by the pool during a 64-mile bike ride and was arrested after reaching down into the pool. He has said he was just interested in the material and briefly touched it.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Mr. Trump reiterated that the individuals allegedly responsible should &#8220;pay a big price for the damage done.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The president said &#8220;slashes were 300 yards long, and the floor of the pool was cut and then pulled upward, with great force, by these thugs.&#8221; He said the administration &#8220;wanted to wait until after the July 4th Weekend&#8221; to make the repairs.<\/p>\n<p>CBS News&#8217; Ed O&#8217;Keefe asked the president in late June for evidence of his claims.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yeah, at the right time you&#8217;ll see it,&#8221; Mr. Trump said. &#8220;You&#8217;ll see it in court.
