President Donald Trump says he has not made a decision on whether to keep Jeanine Pirro as the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, after publicly criticizing her actions in a case involving alleged damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Trump made the comments to reporters when asked about Pirro’s future following her move to drop charges against former Olympian David Hearn, who had been accused of vandalizing the Reflecting Pool. Both outlets report that Trump said he has not reached a determination and did not indicate a timeline for making a decision. The remarks come amid public scrutiny of Pirro’s decision to dismiss the case, which Trump criticized. The sources do not provide additional details on what factors Trump is considering or whether any internal or legal review is underway. Pirro’s role as the top federal prosecutor in Washington and her authority over federal charging decisions are central to the question of whether Trump will retain her after the Reflecting Pool controversy.
