President Trump on Sunday blasted former Olympian David Hearn, labeling him "ActBlue," and shared a screenshot from court filings that reveal the mountain of evidence, including witnesses and photo evidence, that the Department of Justice had when they dropped his case for vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the Justice Department dropped vandalism charges against Hearn. US Attorney Jeanine Pirro, who previously accused Hearn of “violently and forcefully” ripping up the sealant, claimed that “flawed installation by the contractor” was responsible for the damage. Trump slammed Pirro during an Oval Office press conference on Monday, saying she "choked." Trump added, "I was disappointed with Jeanine Pirro, really disappointed with Jeanine Pirro. She folded like an umbrella, and people get away with things, and it’s a disgrace."
After meeting with Pirro at the White House, Trump said to reporters, "I told her I was not happy." He further said he hadn't "made a determination" on whether or not he'll fire Pirro over the debacle.
WATCH:
Then on Friday, Trump called on Pirro to refile the indictment against David Hearn, calling her decision to drop charges "hastily made."
Trump continued his campaign to indict Hearn on Sunday, sharing a screenshot from the government's motion to dismiss Hearn's indictment, dated July 31, 2026, where prosecutors detail interviews with National Park employees who reported that Hearn was arrested after he "started to 'violently' rip and tug at a large portion of the blue pool coating."
The portion Trump shared reads,
"Further investigation by the government included interviews with two National Park Service ("NPS") employees, W-1 and W-2, who were both engaged in cleaning the interior of the Reflecting Pool. The defendant approached the area where they were working. W-1 stated they observed the defendant using his cellular telephone to take what the NPS employee believed to be video or a photograph(s) of the damage to the reflecting pool. The NPS employee, W-1, stated that the defendant then knelt, placed both hands into the reflecting pool-below the surface of the water-and started to "violently" rip and tug at a large portion of the blue pool coating. The NPS employee, W-1, asked the second NPS employee, W-2, to contact police and requested that the defendant not touch or rip at the coating. The defendant told W-1, that the NPS personnel were "awfully sensitive about the pool" and he continued to tug at the coating until National Guard soldiers arrived."
The filing further notes that "A third NPS employee, W-3, took a photograph of the area where the defendant was seen pulling the lining prior to the incident involving the defendant. Metadata associated with the photo indicates that it was captured at 2:55 PM on July 19, 2026, shortly before W-1 and W-2 observed the defendant aggressively pulling and further damaging this compromised area of the Reflecting Pool."

There shouldn't be any doubt. He has to fire her.
“There shouldn’t be any doubt. He has to fire her.”
Getting candidates confirmed in the U.S. senate is a problem.
Not a very informed take on the situation. The question you should be asking is
why is the President of the United States involving himself in a trivial matter such as this? It should be alarming that the President is obsessed with this reflecting pool case. Trump has better things to be focusing on, like getting us out of this ridiculous war we are in, doing something or anything to address the affordability issue, deporting illegals, and maybe trying to keep a few of the many promises he has broken.
Simple. He can’t help himself. He promised he could fix the Reflecting Pool... and lo and behold its not fixed. The idea that some guy dove in, cut the lining, and started ripping it is ridiculous. Wheres the film? DC is covered in cameras.
Construction is what interests Trump. Simple as that. He’s obviously taken a personal affront to the allegations of shoddy work situation and can’t let it go to focus on more presidential duties.
Let it go, Mr President…. move on.
Is there no one the president listens to on domestic matters, when they are not in full agreement with him? I can’t think of anyone who’s opinion he appears to have much faith in.
For a short while, I thought maybe Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, or perhaps his son Eric Trump.
Maybe someone should give First Daughter Ivanka a text message, category “Not Urgent, But Potentially Debilitating”
If this Imbroglio continues ‘unresolved’ until September, I would expect Judge Pirro to offer her resignation, if she hasn’t already done so. She is 75 y/o, quite accomplished and doesn’t need the job or the Front Page Headline drama.
Pirro bites a big one.
Evidence is pretty clear.
What was she thinking?
None of that has anything to do with the situation. The evidence against Hearn is overwhelming, yet Pirro chose to do nothing. That’s all that matters here.
“The evidence against Hearn is overwhelming, yet Pirro chose to do nothing.”
Announced it in the media before Trump
Why?
Two facts can exist at the same time. The workmanship might be shoddy, and the person pulling up on the liner might’ve further damaged it.
“ The evidence against Hearn is overwhelming, yet Pirro chose to do nothing. That’s all that matters here.”
****************************************************
Really? You’ve seen the evidence? I strongly suspect that Pirro has a far deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation than you. Just sayin’.
If you work for President Trump and choose to undermine him, he will drag you out and expose you. This is as it should be.
Pirro knows that a jury of Hearn’s peers will go nowhere in a DC criminal court proceeding...
“It should be alarming that the President is obsessed with this reflecting pool case.”
.
It keeps SOME of the events in Iran off the front pages...
People on January 6 were given 20 years for breaking the window
” Pirro has a far deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation than you.”
Her “knowledge and understanding” have nothing to do with the crime that was committed. It is that she knows and understands that in DC, a jury would not convict.
Trump public trashing of Pirro shows he is a man off the rails and
need to be shut down by someone in that pack of YES men is has.
Pirro is a pro and can walk which she will.
He is so out of line is shocking.
He is disgracing the Presidency with his petty, and mean and unhinged behavior over a minor topic.
Trashing a pro like Pirro is new low for this immature person.
His arrogant narcissism is really showing just before the Midterm.
The WH needs to shut him down and hide him.
He is known to be quite the jerk so that is a tough order.
