Trump Blasts Pirro After She Dismissed Charges Against Individuals Accused of Vandalizing Reflecting Pool

President Trump has publicly blasted U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro and is considering firing her after she dismissed charges against individuals accused of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. President Donald Trump: “And I was disappointed with Jeanine Pirro, really disappointed with Jeanine Pirro. She — she folded like an umbrella. And people get away with things, and it’s a disgrace.” Trump met with Pirro at the White House on Monday. For months, Trump has claimed, without proof, that vandals, including a former U.S. Olympian canoeist, had damaged the newly renovated Reflecting Pool, causing the water to turn green. Pirro initially claimed there was “tremendous evidence” of vandalism, but in recent days she admitted the damage was caused by a “hasty and botched” renovation. www.democracynow.org
