Trump Says Pirro 'Folded Like an Umbrella' Over Pool Case

webfact
· 33 views

President Donald Trump has sharply criticised Jeanine Pirro after federal prosecutors dropped a high-profile vandalism case involving Washington DC's Reflecting Pool, accusing the US attorney of backing down.

Speaking publicly, Trump said Pirro had "folded like an umbrella" by abandoning the case, despite what he described as clear evidence that vandals were responsible for significant damage.

Charges Dismissed

The charges against a former Olympian accused of vandalising the landmark were dismissed by federal prosecutors.

A court filing submitted by Pirro, the US Attorney for Washington DC, stated that contractors were responsible for rushing the paint installation process, suggesting their actions contributed to the problems at the site.

Trump Rejects Explanation

Trump acknowledged there "may have been some contractor difficulty" but rejected the explanation that it was the primary cause of the damage.

He insisted the Reflecting Pool had suffered "major damage" because of vandalism and criticised the decision to end the prosecution.

Dispute Over Cause

The case has drawn attention because of the differing views between prosecutors and the president over what caused the damage and whether criminal charges should have proceeded.

    What a frigging pitiful person we have a potus.

    Maybe do another nationwide tv speech and show us all the nonexistent evidence against the "vandals" like you did with the non existent rigged election "evidence".....since the elections are all rigged how can it be possible that repubs control the house, senate, white house? All that pool vandalism caused by your sad awarding of no bid contracts to your mar a largo incompetent buddies.

    Pathetic Liar.
