Donald Trump Says He's "Really Disappointed" In Jeanine Pirro After She Moved To Dismiss Reflecting Pool Case: "She Folded Like An Umbrella"

Donald Trump lashed out at Jeanine Pirro, the former Fox News host who is now U.S. attorney for D.C. Pirro moved to dismiss a felony indictment against David Hearn, a former Olympian charged with vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool. Trump said he was 'really disappointed' and that Pirro 'folded like an umbrella.' In her court filing, Pirro said the Department of the Interior provided new info showing the damage was from a botched installation, not vandalism. The pool is one of Trump's pet projects.

The Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool has been a major focus for Trump during his time in office. He pushed for its renovation and a protective blue liner. When coating was found floating on the surface, Hearn was charged with vandalism. But Pirro's office found that contractors rushed to finish the work for an event and may have caused the damage. Jeanine Pirro was a Fox News host before Trump appointed her. She is known for her strong support of Trump. This case puts her in the unusual position of going against his wishes.

This shows how politics and justice can clash. Even Trump appointees sometimes have to follow the evidence instead of political loyalty.
