Trump asks U.S. Attorney Pirro to revisit dropped reflecting-pool case

President Donald Trump asked U. S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro in Washington, D. C.

to revisit her decision to drop the felony vandalism charge against former Olympic canoeist David Hearn over damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. The charge had been dismissed after the Justice Department and a federal judge concluded that the pool’s damage resulted from a contractor’s faulty renovation rather than vandalism. Earlier, prosecutors had moved to dismiss the case, citing the same construction flaws, and Hearn’s lawyers argued that the reflecting pool was already damaged before the alleged incident, with a National Park Service witness testifying to pre-existing damage.
