WHAT HAPPENED
Earlier this month, the White House asked the Department of Justice to clarify details on a lawsuit filed against former employee David Hearn over damage to the presidential reflecting pool. According to Home – CBSNews.com, this inquiry comes as federal prosecutors move to dismiss the case, citing new evidence that the damage was caused by a contractor’s botched installation, not vandalism.
The federal case, which had alleged vandalism, is now being dismissed after prosecutors discovered that the damage resulted from a contractor’s mishandling of the installation process. Home – CBSNews.com reports that this new evidence led to the dismissal request, removing the criminal charges against Hearn.
The ruling illustrates how damages to White House property are investigated and the importance of accurate attribution of responsibility in federal cases.
- White House requested DOJ clarification on the David Hearn lawsuit.
- Prosecutors are moving to dismiss the case after finding damage caused by a botched contractor installation.
