President Donald Trump has publicly criticized U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro regarding her handling of a vandalism case involving the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Trump characterized Pirro’s decision to drop charges against U.S. Olympian David Hearn as a failure, stating that she “choked” and “folded like an umbrella.”

The President attributed the outcome in part to the presiding judge, whom he described as “extremely unfriendly” toward the prosecution. Trump’s remarks highlight his dissatisfaction with the legal proceedings surrounding the incident and his assessment of the U.S. Attorney's performance in court.
