- On August 1, Donald Trump rejected the Justice Department’s conclusion and said the damage was caused by vandalism.
- In a July 31 court filing, the Justice Department said the $14 million renovation was rushed and flawed and dropped the case against former Olympian David Hearn, who had been accused of vandalism.
- Prosecutors said a National Park Service engineer reported peeling pool lining on June 11, while Hearn was arrested on June 19 and indicted on July 2.
- According to court records and a defense lawyer, federal prosecutors also dropped charges against at least two of the three other people accused.
I disagree 100% with Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, on the Reflecting Pool. I don’t know what she was thinking? To me, it was a pure case of VANDALISM.— Trump wrote on Truth Social disputing Pirro’s assessment of the Reflecting Pool and the DOJ finding.
