https://www.thedailybeast.com/keyword/jeanine-pirro/" rel="">Jeanine Pirro, the Fox News host-turned-U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, grew heated over her decision to prosecute a former Olympic canoeist for touching the president’s beloved Reflecting Pool last month.

David Hearn, 67, a three-time Olympic canoeist, https://www.thedailybeast.com/feds-cuff-olympian-for-touching-trumps-green-slime-mess/" rel="">was arrested on June 19 and charged with misdemeanor destruction of government property after he reached into the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to feel a flap of detached “American flag blue” liner.

On Thursday, https://www.cnn.com/2026/07/02/politics/former-olympic-rower-indicted-for-felony-related-to-reflecting-pool" rel="">CNN reported that Hearn was indicted by a grand jury in Washington, D.C., Superior Court.
