Trump says Jeanine Pirro ‘choked’ in Reflecting Pool vandalism case: ‘Folded like an umbrella’

President Donald Trump stated that U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro "choked" and "folded like an umbrella" regarding her decision to drop charges against Olympian David Hearn. The case involved the vandalism of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump attributed Pirro's actions to the presiding judge, whom he described as "vicious" and "extremely unfriendly," suggesting that the judge's behavior influenced the decision to dismiss the indictment against the former athlete.
