President Donald Trump expressed disappointment Monday in U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro's handling of the Reflecting Pool controversy, claiming she "choked."
Pirro's office moved last week to drop charges against a former Olympic athlete they accused of vandalizing the Reflecting Pool outside the Lincoln Memorial, claiming that new information has since indicated that damage to the pool was the result of a rushed job.
