President Trump and Jeanine Pirro's Longstanding Alliance Tested by Reflecting Pool Case
A rare public disagreement has emerged between President Donald Trump and Jeanine Pirro, a longtime ally, over a criminal case involving damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Pirro, who has been a steadfast supporter of Trump, faced criticism from the president for her handling of the case. The controversy arose after federal prosecutors, led by Pirro, charged former Olympic canoeist David Hearn with vandalism. However, new evidence suggested pre-existing issues with the pool's renovation, leading to the dismissal of charges. This incident has put a strain on the decades-long relationship between Trump and Pirro.
