Trump Accuses Jeanine Pirro of 'Folding' by Dropping Reflecting Pool Charges The drama unfolding in Washington DC over vandalism charges at the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool is a sordid tale of egos, incompetence, and pettiness.
At its center are two figures: Donald Trump, the mercurial president who thrives on conflict, and Jeanine Pirro, the US attorney for the District of Columbia whose independence has been compromised by her loyalty to Trump.
Pirro's decision to drop charges against David Hearn, a former Olympic canoeist accused of damaging the reflecting pool, was met with public criticism from Trump.
