TRUMP SAYS PIRRO ‘FOLDED LIKE AN UMBRELLA’ IN BID TO DROP REFLECTING POOL VANDALISM CHARGES

President Donald Trump criticized U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro for moving to drop charges against a former Olympian accused of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, according to Associated Press. Trump stated that Pirro 'folded like an umbrella' and 'choked' in her assessment of the incident. The president expressed his disappointment with Pirro's decision, which he believes was influenced by the judge's criticism.

Pirro's assessment reportedly attributed the damage to the Reflecting Pool as a result of shoddy construction, rather than vandalism. Trump countered this claim, saying he remained unconvinced by her reasoning. The president's criticism of Pirro came during an unrelated Oval Office event, where he signed an executive order for military spouses.

The incident highlights the tension between Trump and Pirro, a former Fox News host and longtime ally, over the handling of the vandalism case. The move to dismiss charges against the former Olympian, David Hearn, has sparked controversy and raised questions about the decision-making process behind it.
