U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro Drops Charges Against Olympian David Hearn

The Department of Justice found that flawed work by a contractor caused the damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro dismissed the felony destruction of property case against David Hearn after evidence revealed a botched installation. This decision follows a period of finger-pointing and failure regarding the pool's maintenance. Trump criticized Pirro for her decision because it contradicted his previous claims that vandals were responsible. Scott Jennings condemned the Justice Department for damaging Hearn's reputation during the investigation. Pirro stated that the charges were no longer supported by the technical evidence.
