Read our Privacy noticeThe White House is reportedly pressing federal prosecutors to open another case against a former Olympian accused of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool after President Donald Trump publicly raged against U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s decision to drop charges.
The Department of Interior “provided less than fulsome information at the outset of this case,” according to the filing from Pirro’s office.
"The government is continuing to attack an innocent man,” lawyers Hearn said in a statement to The Independent on Monday following the president’s latest attacks.
Finally, the U.S. attorney’s own motion on July 31 admitted the damage was caused by a ‘botched installation and not vandalism.’
