CNN: Trump Considering Firing Pirro Over Reflecting Pool
Well, we all saw this coming…
Donald Trump repeatedly attacked U.S. Attorney and former Fox News personality Jeanine Pirro in the Oval Office today for dropping charges against a former Olympian who was accused of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
Prosecutors say after the indictment against David Hearn came down on July 2, the Interior Department provided additional documents to the U.S. attorney’s office “indicating that damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of flawed installation by the contractor, Atlantic Industrial Coatings.”
Trump is still bigly mad, though, telling reporters today, “Jeanine Pirro made a mistake. It was vandalism.”
“I was disappointed with Jeanine Pirro, really disappointed with Jeanine Pirro. She folded like an umbrella, and people get away with things,” he added, calling the lack of charges “a disgrace.” Continue reading “CNN: Trump Considering Firing Pirro Over Reflecting Pool”
