Federal indictment over World War II Memorial vandalism on the National Mall

A federal grand jury indicted Melissa Farris, 41, for vandalizing the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., after live-streaming herself dumping soap into the fountain and spraying red and green paint on the granite. She faces two felonies—destruction of a veterans memorial and destruction of government property—with a maximum combined sentence of 10 years, and damages exceed $1,000. The next court hearing is set in D.C.; the incident drew condemnation from Trump and lawmakers, while Farris says she aimed to protest health-care funding issues at a former Kentucky employer.

DC prosecutor seeks to keep WWII memorial vandal jailed as Trump clash escalates

U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro moved to keep Melissa Farris behind bars on two felony counts for spray-painting the World War II Memorial, appealing a magistrate’s decision to release her. The prosecutors argued she faces an exceptionally high risk of flight and pushed for detention or electronic monitoring, highlighting the memorial attack as a grave offense. The push follows Trump’s public rebukes of Pirro over a separate case related to the Reflecting Pool, reflecting high political pressure surrounding federal prosecutions. A grand jury indictment may be needed to pursue felony charges, and Farris was ordered released on recognizance with reporting and proximity restrictions.
