President Donald Trump spent the weekend insisting that vandals damaged his Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovations despite his own administration admitting there wasn’t sufficient evidence, ratcheting up pressure on U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro to reverse course after she dropped related criminal charges.
On Sunday, the president posted an image of court documents on Truth Social, writing that a “highly credible witness” saw David Hearn, a 67-year-old former Olympian, “violently” rip the pool’s newly redone coating.
“The National Park Service employee provided this witness testimony to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in early July,” wrote Trump, making a pointed reference to Pirro’s office, which has argued that park officials failed to turn over relevant information.
