President Trump broke with Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, on her handling of the Reflecting Pool situation.

Charges were dropped on Friday against the suspect accused of vandalism. 

"I disagree 100% with Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, on the Reflecting Pool. I don’t know what she was thinking?" Trump wrote on Truth Social.

"To me, it was a pure case of VANDALISM, that included the grass, which had a big 86 47 emblazoned in giant letters on it, and other elements of the surrounding area. There may have been some contractor difficulty, but the major damage was caused by VANDALS!" he added.
