Blanche defends Trump and Pirro over Reflecting Pool case while noting president can ‘fire anybody’
The Justice Department’s collapsed felony criminal indictment charging a former Olympian with damaging the Lincoln Memorial’s Reflecting Pool is just the latest in a string of legal misfires by the DOJ in politically charged cases.
D.C. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, a former county court judge in Westchester, New York, and former Fox News host, asked a judge to dismiss a felony criminal charge that she had personally announced with great fanfare against former Olympian David Hearn.
President Donald Trump, meanwhile, said Pirro “folded like an umbrella” and he was “really disappointed” that she was dropping the charges.
“Frankly, I think she choked,” he said.
