Jeanine Pirro loses it with reporter questions about failed Reflecting Pool vandalism case

The Justice Department inspector general declined to investigate alleged misconduct in the criminal case against former Olympian David Hearn.

Hearn was charged and later cleared of intentionally damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool during Donald Trump 's renovation project.

Defense lawyers urged Inspector General Don R. Berthiaume to reconsider, warning that declining the review undermines public confidence in the department.

Hearn's legal team alleges prosecutors ignored exculpatory evidence for weeks and rushed to indict under pressure from Donald Trump.

Attorneys noted that referring the matter to the Office of Professional Responsibility lacks the independent public and congressional reporting of the inspector general.
