Trump, Jeanine Pirro hold tense closed-door meeting
President Trump confronted US Attorney Jeanine Pirro at a tense White House meeting over a court filing blaming Reflecting Pool damage on shoddy workmanship rather than vandalism, according to CNN. Sources said Trump “read her the riot act” but stopped short of firing her. Pirro’s office dropped the case against ex-Olympian David Hearn after concluding Interior Department officials had withheld records showing prior damage. The decision deepened tensions with Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s team. Trump later told reporters Pirro was “totally wrong” but declined to say whether she’d remain in her role.
