The video appears to have been recorded at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC. The footage released by U.S. Park Police and reported by multiple outlets shows a woman at the Reflecting Pool in connection with the alleged damage investigation.

A few details from the reporting:

  • The incident was tied to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool specifically, not a generic “reflecting pool” elsewhere.
  • The video circulated on June 23–25, 2026 , and police said it showed the person kneeling and reaching into the pool.
  • One report says the footage was posted by TMZ DC and showed a woman being questioned by law enforcement after reaching into the water.

So the likely answer is: it was recorded at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on the National Mall in Washington, DC.
