President Donald Trump says U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro “choked” and “folded like an umbrella” in connection with a move to drop vandalism charges tied to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. The remarks come as Pirro seeks to have charges dismissed against a former Olympian accused of vandalizing the Reflecting Pool. Multiple outlets report Trump’s comments and describe the dismissal effort as a notable moment during his second term, highlighting that it involves an aide or political appointee acting independently from Trump’s preferences. The coverage characterizes Trump’s language as unusually direct and critical, focusing on Pirro’s decision to pursue the dismissal rather than on the underlying alleged conduct itself. While the reports agree on the basic dispute—Trump’s public reaction to Pirro’s request to dismiss the vandalism case—details about the underlying case facts and the legal reasoning for the dismissal are not provided in the excerpts. The reports frame the episode primarily as a high-profile conflict over prosecutorial decisions in the Reflecting Pool matter.
