Pirro’s office filed a motion last Friday to drop the case against former Olympian David Hearn, asserting that the damage to the newly renovated pool site resulted from substandard construction rather than intentional destruction. The prosecutor’s pivot contradicted the President’s public stance, which maintains that surveillance footage clearly depicts individuals sabotaging waterproofing materials installed ahead of the nation’s 250th anniversary celebrations.
Trump expressed deep disappointment in the decision, telling reporters he remained convinced the incident was an act of vandalism that Pirro should have continued to prosecute. While the President stopped short of confirming whether he intends to replace the former Fox News host as Washington’s top federal prosecutor, his public rebuke highlights mounting tension over the high-profile infrastructure project. The reflecting pool renovation is a centerpiece of Trump’s broader architectural agenda for the capital, which includes a $400 million ballroom addition and plans for a memorial arch connecting the Lincoln Memorial to Arlington National Cemetery.
