Trump weighs firing Pirro after Reflecting Pool filing

TL;DR Summary
President Trump is reportedly furious and weighing the removal of U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro after Pirro filed to dismiss the David Hearn case over the Reflecting Pool renovation controversy; sources say her removal is highly likely. The DOJ acknowledged the renovation was flawed and that vandals were not to blame, and Hearn’s charges could be dismissed. Trump criticized Pirro publicly, describing the situation as “not pretty” after a tense weekend call, while other officials signaled no anger toward Interior Secretary Burgum. The development could trigger further political and legal repercussions as the case moves forward.
