Trump says Pirro 'folded like an umbrella' in bid to drop Reflecting Pool vandalism charges

President Donald Trump criticized U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro for dropping charges against David Hearn, a former Olympian accused of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Trump claimed Pirro 'folded like an umbrella' under judicial pressure and expressed disappointment with her dismissal of the case, which he argued involved deliberate vandalism rather than construction flaws. Hearn stated he briefly touched the pool's coating during a bike ride but complied with a park worker's instructions.
