Trump rebukes Jeanine Pirro over abandoned Reflecting Pool case

The dispute centers on charges against David Hearn, a former Olympian initially accused of deliberately damaging the pool’s newly installed waterproofing. In a court filing last Friday, Pirro’s office reversed course, citing evidence that the damage stemmed from shoddy workmanship. This decision prompted a sharp rebuke from the President, who claimed surveillance footage clearly showed individuals cutting the material.

Trump described Pirro’s performance in court as a total collapse, claiming she was intimidated by the presiding judge. He expressed deep disappointment in the top federal prosecutor, stating she had choked when challenged by the bench. While Trump stopped short of clarifying whether he had communicated with Pirro directly before his public comments, he declined to confirm if her professional future remains secure.
