TL;DR Summary

President Trump met with U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro in the Oval Office after she withdrew a felony charge against a former Olympic canoeist tied to damage at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool; Trump criticized her decision as 'folded like an umbrella,' asserted she was not fired, and noted vandalism as the cause, with Interior Secretary Doug Burgum present. Prosecutors also moved to drop charges against three others, Pirro argued the damage stemmed from vandalism rather than contractor error, and Trump later toured the renovated Reflecting Pool while praising the project and maintaining the vandalism narrative.
