The White House has reportedly discussed with the Justice Department's Criminal Division whether to bring a new, possibly misdemeanor, case against former Olympian David Hearn over alleged damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, after felony charges were dismissed. Prosecutors under U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro had accused Hearn of causing over $1,000 in damage, but later moved to drop the case, citing evidence the damage stemmed from a contractor's botched sealant installation.
Trump publicly criticized the dismissal on Truth Social, insisting 'VANDALS' caused the 'major damage' and saying he disagreed '100%' with Pirro. Hearn's attorney Michael Bromwich called the revival effort baseless harassment, noting the case was dismissed for lack of evidence. Three misdemeanor cases against other defendants tied to the same alleged damage were also dropped.
