President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice dropped charges against the three remaining defendants accused of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool — after the president blew up at U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro for dismissing similar charges against Olympian David Hearn.
The DOJ dismissed the felony charges against Hearn, a 67-year-old former slalom canoeist, on Friday, saying that the bright green algae plaguing the pool — as well as the pool’s peeling paint— was “the result of flawed installation by the contractor.”
