Trump says has made no determination on US attorney Pirro
The Justice Department said the damage came from a botched renovation, while Trump said he has not decided whether to keep Jeanine Pirro.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump said he has not made a determination regarding the future of Attorney Jeanine Pirro following their White House meeting.
- Trump previously lashed out at Pirro, accusing her of having "choked" and "folded like an umbrella" after she dropped charges against Olympian David Hearn for damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
- A DOJ court filing revealed that Interior Department documents show the damage resulted from a "botched installation" rather than vandalism, and charges against Hearn and three other individuals were subsequently dismissed.
- The Reflecting Pool renovations were intended to prepare Washington for the nation's 250th anniversary celebration last month, but the project has been plagued by peeling lining and algae blooms.
