Trump slams DOJ over Reflecting Pool case
During a televised interview on August 2, President Donald Trump accused U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro of “politically motivated” misconduct after she moved to dismiss the charge against a protester accused of defacing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
Trump labelled the move a “witch‑hunt” and warned that the Justice Department was being weaponised against his supporters.
Pirro defended her decision as based on insufficient evidence, while civil‑rights groups argued the case was a matter of free‑speech.
The dispute highlighted ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and the DOJ over high‑profile protest cases.
