Trump pide a la fiscal Pirro reconsiderar caso del reflejo de la piscina

El presidente Donald Trump solicitó a la fiscal del Distrito de Columbia, Jeanine Pirro, en Washington, D. C. , que reconsidere su decisión de archivar el cargo penal de vandalismo contra el excanoísta olímpico David Hearn por los daños al Reflecting Pool del Monumento a Lincoln.

El cargo fue desestimado después de que el Departamento de Justicia y un juez federal determinaran que el daño se debió a una instalación defectuosa del renovador, no a actos vandálicos. Anteriormente, los fiscales habían pedido la eliminación del caso citando los mismos defectos de construcción, y los abogados de Hearn argumentaron que el pool ya presentaba daños antes del presunto incidente, con testimonio de un testigo del Servicio de Parques Nacionales que confirmó el deterioro previo. Días antes, la defensa había señalado que los daños existían con anterioridad y los abogados de Hearn buscaban una desestimación permanente, alegando motivaciones políticas y fallas procesales.
