Trump Did Not Say Whether He Had Spoken Directly With Her Before the Rebuke and Did Not Answer When Asked If He Was Reconsidering Her Role

President Donald Trump on Monday sharply criticized U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro for dropping a vandalism case at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, saying she "choked" under pressure from a judge and "folded like an umbrella. Trump told reporters, "Instead of going after the people that did it, the judge went after her and went after her department, and I guess she choked. I don't know what the hell happened.
Pirro's office filed a court motion Friday stating the damage stemmed from shoddy construction, not vandalism, and moved to drop charges against former Olympian David Hearn, accused of deliberately damaging the newly renovated pool ahead of the nation's 250th birthday celebration last month. Trump claimed surveillance footage showed people cutting newly installed waterproofing material and argued Pirro, a close political ally, should have pursued the case. "Pirro made a mistake.
It was vandalism, he said, adding he was "really disappointed" and that "she folded like an umbrella. Pirro, a former Fox News host and longtime Trump ally, serves as the top federal prosecutor in Washington. Trump did not say whether he had spoken directly with her before the rebuke and did not answer when asked if he was reconsidering her role.
