- President Donald Trump forcefully disputed U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s decision to drop charges against a former Olympian accused of vandalizing the newly renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
- Pirro admitted in a court filing that the damage to the pool liner was the result of flawed installation by a contractor, not vandalism.
- “I disagree 100% with Jeanine Pirro,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Saturday afternoon, “I don’t know what she was thinking?” Trump added. “To me, it was a pure case of VANDALISM, that included the grass, which had a big 86 47 emblazoned in giant letters on it, and other elements of the surrounding area.”
- Pirro stated her office was misled by the Interior Department, which allegedly misrepresented that the damage was due to vandals.
- The reversal has drawn significant criticism and scrutiny online, with some legal experts and commentators calling for Pirro's disbarment and highlighting her history of failed prosecutions.
