The U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Jeanine Pirro, has dropped misdemeanor charges against three individuals previously accused of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. The individuals, Justin Carreno, Sophie Dennison-Gibby, and Cameron Thiers, were initially linked to damage described by President Donald Trump as vandalism. The decision follows the dismissal of a felony vandalism charge against David Hearn, the only person indicted in the case. According to court filings, prosecutors stated that contractor errors, rather than vandalism, were responsible for the damage. Pirro noted in her motion to the court that new information made it difficult to attribute the damage to vandalism. Trump expressed disagreement with Pirro's decision, suggesting that significant damage was caused by vandals. The U.S. Attorney's office did not respond to requests for comment.
