Judge weighs dismissal of indictment in Reflecting Pool vandalism case

A D.C. judge will decide whether to dismiss the indictment against former Olympian David Hearn over the Reflecting Pool damage; prosecutors seek dismissal without prejudice so a future grand jury could reindict if new evidence emerges, while Hearn’s lawyers urge dismissal with prejudice. The case hinges on whether the damage was vandalism or a flaw in installation, a determination bolstered by Interior Department findings, and has drawn attention due to President Trump’s remarks about the matter.

DOJ Seeks Dismissal of Steve Bannon Contempt Case Tied to Jan. 6

The Justice Department filed an unopposed motion to dismiss its long-running criminal case against Steve Bannon for contempt of Congress related to his refusal to testify before the Jan. 6 committee, saying the dismissal is in the interests of justice. Bannon, convicted in 2022 and having served four months in prison, had sought Supreme Court review, but the government now argues the underlying indictment should be dismissed, with Bannon not opposing the motion; the outcome is largely symbolic since he has already served his time.
