(FILES) US President Donald Trump (L) looks on as interim US Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro speaks during her swearing in ceremony in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, on May 28, 2025. Trump's extraordinary campaign to blame an apparently botched renovation of Washington's Reflecting Pool on vandals took another twist on August 1, 2026 when he attacked his hand-picked prosecutor for dropping charges against an ex-Olympian arrested in the controversy. Trump lashed out at federal prosecutor Jeanine Pirro -- a former Fox News host who has been a longtime supporter of the Republican president -- after she sought to dismiss the charges, acknowledging in court documents that poor installation, not vandalism, apparently wrecked the multimillion dollar renovation on the National Mall.
