President Donald Trump summoned Washington D.C. prosecutor Jeanine Pirro to a Monday meeting at the White House following public comments where he stated she folded "like an umbrella" regarding a controversy over the city's reflecting pool. According to two sources familiar with the gathering, Pirro's position is currently secure despite the presidential scrutiny.
The reflecting pool controversy previously gained significant traction after being repeatedly amplified on Fox News earlier in the summer, with network hosts such as Jesse Watters supporting the president's extravagant claims. However, media reports indicate that the network has since ignored the subsequent fallout resulting from the ongoing dispute.
