Judge Warns Trump DOJ Over Reflecting Pool Case Tactics
TL;DR Summary
A D.C. judge chastised the Trump DOJ for blaming others in the Reflecting Pool vandalism case against former Olympic canoeist David Hearn, warning that draining and repairing the pool could prejudice the prosecution. Judge Todd Edelman denied Hearn’s motion to dismiss but pressed prosecutors to account for evidence preservation and the site’s status, with a trial date set for September 28, 2026. Trump and Pirro have argued Hearn vandalized the pool after the administration’s blue-water renovation, while Hearn pleads not guilty to a single count of destruction of property.
