US Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro arrived at the West Wing of the White House on Monday afternoon with a white box in tow as President Trump ripped into her for dropping the criminal Lincoln Pool vandalism case.
The Justice Department on Friday dismissed the Lincoln Reflecting Pool vandalism case against David Hearn.
David Hearn, the former Olympian who was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor for destruction of property for vandalizing the Lincoln Reflecting Pool in June, was indicted by a grand jury on felony charges last month.
Hearn is a three-time Olympic canoeist.
Hearn was charged with felony destruction of government property. He was facing 10 years in prison.
Pirro dropped the case and said the damage to the Lincoln Reflecting Pool was the result of “flawed installation by the contractor.”
Earlier Monday, President Trump spoke out about Pirro’s move to drop the case during remarks to reporters in the Oval Office.
