President Donald Trump makes remarks about Fox News host Jeanine Pirro during or immediately after a White House meeting tied to the Reflecting Pool vandalism case, according to reports from multiple outlets. The New York Times reports that Trump says Pirro “choked” in connection with the case, and that he does not directly address a question about whether he is considering firing her. Yahoo News reports that Trump does not fire Pirro at the White House meeting, occurring hours after his public comments using the “choked” description. The two accounts focus on Trump’s characterization of Pirro’s handling of the matter and the immediate personnel outcome that follows. While the coverage indicates there is ongoing attention to Pirro’s role related to the vandalism investigation, the reports do not provide additional agreed-upon case details. Overall, the reporting aligns on (1) Trump’s use of the “choked” language and (2) the fact that she remains employed following the meeting, at least in the hours after his remarks.
