In Dropping Reflecting Pool Case, Pirro Draws Trump's Wrath
General News,Monuments,Washington DC,Donald Trump
Jeanine Pirro faced the cameras on July 2 with characteristic self-assurance to announce the indictment of the 67-year-old ex-Olympian David Hearn for trashing "sacred" government property, President Trump's highly prized but shoddily renovated Reflecting Pool.
"This is not only a priority for the president, but for myself," said Ms. Pirro, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, disclosing felony vandalism charges against Mr. Hearn for touching the lining of the pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial. She added: "We will prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Hearn willfully destroyed property."
