US President Donald Trump publicly rebuked US Attorney Jeanine Pirro on Monday, claiming his longtime ally 'choked' and 'folded like an umbrella' when she dropped criminal charges in a high-profile vandalism case. Speaking in the Oval Office, he accused her of backing down in the face of judicial pressure after her office moved to dismiss the case.
The criticism came as Pirro moved to dismiss allegations against a former Olympian accused of damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, with her office now blaming the destruction on shoddy construction work rather than deliberate vandalism.
