Pirro vs Trump on Lincoln Pool Damage | Boston News

The U.S. Attorney for D.C., Jeanine Pirro, is dropping charges against David Hearn over alleged vandalism at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, citing new evidence that the damage stemmed from a botched $15 million renovation rushed to meet the America 250 deadline—not vandals. President Trump publicly disagreed, insisting on vandalism despite acknowledging contractor issues, even sharing a video he claims proves it. This rare move by a top Justice Department appointee undermines Trump’s narrative and highlights mounting tension between administration claims and official findings. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum countered with video and eyewitness accounts of vandalism, while Hearn’s team blames the failed renovation and vows to pursue legal action, calling the administration’s handling of the project a disaster.
