Trump sternly rebukes Jeanine Pirro’s decision to withdraw charges against alleged Reflecting Pool vandal David Hearn: ‘I disagree 100%’

President Trump had a stern rebuke Saturday of US Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro after her stunning decision to withdraw charges against Olympic canoeist David Hearn for vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial’s reflecting pool.

“I disagree 100% with Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, on the Reflecting Pool,” Trump posted to Truth Social Saturday afternoon.

Trump’s comments came hours after Pirro, a Trump loyalist and former Fox News host, claimed in a court filing that her office had been misled by the US Department of Interior before bringing the charges against Hearn.

“I don’t know what she was thinking? To me, it was a pure case of VANDALISM, that included the grass, which had a big 86 47 emblazoned in giant letters on it, and other elements of the surrounding area,” Trump wrote.

“There may have been some contractor difficulty, but the major damage was caused by VANDALS!”

Pirro’s filing cited her office’s responsibility in not bringing charges that are unlikely to prevail at trial – and said “DOI’s failure to fully and accurately provide information … undermined the government’s ability to abide by these responsibilities.”

It also blamed a Virginia-based contractor who was awarded a no-bid contract to apply sealant to the pool, saying it was “a result of flawed installation.”

Trump posted video of the reflecting pool Saturday that he claimed showed vandals shredding the sealant with knives.

“Look for yourselves at the VANDALISM that took place at The Reflecting Pool. The material is being cut with a knife or a box cutter, for all to see!” he wrote.
