Trump says U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro ‘folded like an umbrella’ in Reflecting Pool case
Pirro’s office said new Interior Department evidence showed the damage came from a flawed contractor installation, not vandalism.
- On Friday, the Department of Justice dropped felony charges against former Olympian David Hearn, acknowledging the damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool resulted from flawed contractor installation rather than vandalism.
- New filings reveal the damage resulted from "flawed installation by the contractor, Atlantic Industrial Coatings, and the rush to complete the project" before the America 250 celebration surrounding Independence Day 2026.
- In a Truth Social post, President Donald Trump disagreed "100%" with the dismissal, insisting it was "a pure case of VANDALISM" despite the government's official admission that charges lacked evidence.
- Commentator Scott Jennings argued Hearn "ought to sue" the administration, while Sen. John Kennedy compared the ongoing controversy to a "multiple vehicle pile-up" during a Sunday interview.
- Executive director Tim Whitehouse of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility demanded a congressional investigation into the $14.7 million no-bid contract, citing concerns over transparency and federal waste.
