Trump Criticizes U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro Over Dismissal of Charges Against Former Olympian

President Donald Trump criticized U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro on Monday after her office dropped criminal charges against David Hearn, a former Olympian accused of damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Trump expressed disappointment in Pirro's decision, stating, "She folded like an umbrella," during remarks in the Oval Office. The charges were dismissed after Pirro's office determined that the damage was due to faulty construction rather than vandalism. Trump had previously expressed his disagreement with Pirro's decision in a post on Truth Social and reiterated his concerns while speaking at the White House. The dismissal of the case is seen as a setback for Trump, who has emphasized the importance of protecting iconic landmarks.
