President Donald Trump on Saturday denounced the Justice Department’s lead federal prosecutor for Washington, D.C., for seeking to dismiss charges against a former Olympian accused of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. 

U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro filed a motion to dismiss the indictment against David Hearn earlier this week, leading Trump to issue a message criticizing the prosecutor and former Fox News Host, with whom he is typically on friendly terms.
