Trump Clashes With Pirro Over Lincoln Memorial Pool Controversy

President Trump publicly criticised US Attorney Jeanine Pirro after she acknowledged that damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was likely caused by a botched installation rather than vandalism, signaling a possible firing. Pirro had previously indicted David Hearn for alleged pool damage, but charges were dropped when evidence pointed to renovation flaws. The dispute comes amid a rushed refurbishment aimed at the 250th Independence Day, which left the pool drained and algae-covered, underscoring tensions between Trump and his ally.
