Trump pushes for new DOJ charges over Reflecting Pool saga

The White House has asked the Justice Department to consider new charges against Olympian David Hearn in the Reflecting Pool renovation case, potentially misdemeanors after the prior felony case was dismissed; Trump blasted the earlier decision on Truth Social, and DOJ discussions are informal and not yet involving AG Todd Blanche. A hearing will decide whether the dismissal could be with prejudice. Separately, Rep. Jamie Raskin opened an inquiry into possible DOJ misconduct and Pirro’s role, and reports note a Washington, D.C. special grand jury that could issue a report even if charges are not pursued.
