President Donald Trump is sharply criticizing U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro after her assessment that damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool following a recent renovation was caused by shoddy construction rather than vandals. On Friday, Pirro moved to drop charges against former Olympian David Hearn, accused of vandalizing the pool. Trump argued anew on Saturday that the damage was caused by vandals. But Pirro, a Trump appointee, said in a court filing that the damage was due to a botched installation of a new liner ahead of the America 250 celebrations. Trump also posted a video on Saturday that he claims shows vandalism, but the footage is unclear.
