两名熟悉特朗普想法的消息人士告诉CNN,总统唐纳德·特朗普正考虑罢免哥伦比亚特区联邦检察官珍妮·皮罗,原因是美国司法部得出结论,林肯纪念堂倒影池的损坏问题源于翻新工程缺陷,而非人为破坏。
其中一名消息人士称,总统对皮罗“怒不可遏”,并向CNN表示,他整个周末都在痛斥皮罗。他们补充道,根据特朗普对皮罗的批评来看,“她极有可能被解职”。
另一名消息人士是一名高级政府官员,他表示特朗普被皮罗提交的法庭文件“打了个措手不及”:“总统事先完全不知道她会这么做。”
CNN已联系皮罗的办公室和美国司法部置评。白宫让CNN参考总统此前就该文件提交一事发表的言论,未就报道的实质性内容置评。
“坦白说,我认为她表现得太差劲了,因为那位法官真的很刻薄。法官没有追究肇事者,反而针对她和她所在的部门,我猜她就是慌了神,”特朗普周一在椭圆形办公室一场无关的活动中说道。
“我对珍妮·皮罗感到失望。真的非常失望,”他补充道,“她像雨伞一样彻底垮掉了。”
美国司法部周五在一份法庭文件中承认,特朗普斥资1400万美元翻新的倒影池“仓促且拙劣”,并表示将撤销对前奥运选手戴维·赫恩的刑事指控。赫恩此前被指控破坏这一地标建筑,他在哥伦比亚特区高等法院对重罪指控拒不认罪。
特朗普和皮罗——这位前福克斯新闻主持人、特朗普的长期盟友——周六就这份法庭文件通了电话。其中一名获悉通话内容的消息人士表示,他们的谈话“并不愉快”。
另一名消息人士称,皮罗告诉特朗普,提交该文件是她办公室里的职业官员所为。周五,一名负责监督哥伦比亚特区高等法院起诉工作的资深检察官签署了法庭文件,请求撤销对赫恩的指控。
除周六的通话外,皮罗已多次就此事与特朗普沟通。
特朗普周六公开批评了这一做法,他在Truth Social平台上发帖称:“我100%不同意哥伦比亚特区联邦检察官珍妮·皮罗在倒影池事件上的做法。我不知道她当时在想什么?在我看来,这纯粹是一起破坏公物案件。”
皮罗在提交的文件中辩称,由道格·伯根姆担任部长的内政部“在本案一开始就没有提供充分的信息”。
文件中写道:“如果内政部当时能主动提供其手中明确掌握的信息,政府就不会寻求大陪审团的起诉。”
尽管有这些指控,消息人士称,特朗普并未对伯根姆感到愤怒,他仍然认为是破坏者造成了倒影池的损坏。伯根姆周六在社交媒体帖子中驳斥了皮罗的说法,称“证据确凿,破坏者多次对倒影池造成损坏”。
然而,CNN通过《信息自由法》请求获得的内政部下属国家公园管理局与华盛顿水务局今年3月至上月的内部沟通记录显示,该部门在计划排空倒影池时,完全没有提及任何破坏行为。
特朗普曾表示,倒影池需要排空以修复所谓破坏行为造成的损坏——但国家公园管理局早在7月1日的一封邮件中就承认,需要排空倒影池是因为藻类滋生。该机构还曾考虑过为池水染色;过去,为了更好地反射景观,池水曾被染成黑色。
赫恩拥有法律手段,可以挖出更多关于其案件处理过程中令人难堪的细节。截至周一下午,法官尚未正式驳回对赫恩的指控,他的律师预计将于本周就皮罗提出的撤销指控请求提交回应。
“没有什么是不能考虑的,”代表赫恩的律师迈克尔·R·布罗姆维奇说道。
他的可选方案包括:将涉案检察官提交给律师纪律监管机构;要求监察长调查司法部和内政部的行为;提起诉讼;索要更多记录检察官起诉陈述的大陪审团案卷;以及请求法官驳回此案,以免日后再次提起诉讼。截至目前,皮罗的办公室仅请求在不附带任何不利后果的情况下撤销对赫恩的指控,这意味着检察官日后仍可尝试重启此案。

Furious Trump is considering removing Pirro over Reflecting Pool filing, sources say
2026-08-03T18:35:05.983Z / CNN
President Donald Trump is considering removing Jeanine Pirro, the US attorney for the District of Columbia, over a Justice Department conclusion that problems with the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool stemmed from a flawed renovation rather than vandalism, two people familiar with his thinking told CNN.
The president is “furious” with Pirro, one of the sources said, telling CNN that he fumed about her all weekend. They added that based on his criticisms of her, they find it “highly likely she’s removed from her job.”
The other source, a senior administration official, said Trump was “blindsided” by Pirro’s court filing: “The president did not know beforehand that she was going to do that.”
CNN has reached out to Pirro’s office and the Justice Department for comment. The White House directed CNN to the president’s prior comments on the filing and did not comment on the substance of the reporting.
“Frankly, I think she choked, because the judge was really vicious. Instead of going after the people that did it, the judge went after her and went after her department, and I guess she choked,” Trump said during an unrelated Oval Office event Monday.
“I was disappointed in Jeanine Pirro. Really disappointed in Jeanine Pirro,” he added. “She folded like an umbrella.”
The Justice Department acknowledged in a court filing on Friday that the president’s $14 million renovation of the Reflecting Pool was “hasty and botched” and said it was dropping the criminal case against former Olympian David Hearn, who was accused of vandalizing the landmark. Hearn previously pleaded not guilty to the felony charge in DC’s Superior Court.
Trump and Pirro, a former Fox News host and longtime ally of the president, spoke by phone on Saturday about the court filing. Their conversation “wasn’t pretty,” said one of the sources, who was read out on the call.
Pirro told Trump it was the career officials in her office that were responsible for the filing, another source said. A longtime prosecutor who oversees prosecutions in DC Superior Court signed the court filing asking to dismiss the case on Friday.
In addition to the Saturday call, Pirro has spoken with Trump multiple times about the situation.
Trump on Saturday publicly criticized the move, posting to Truth Social: “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? To me, it was a pure case of VANDALISM.”
Pirro argued in her filing that the Department of Interior, led by Secretary Doug Burgum, “provided less than fulsome information at the outset of this case.”
“Had DOI been forthcoming with the information clearly in its possession, the government would not have sought a grand jury indictment,” it read.
Despite those accusations, the president is not angry with Burgum, the sources said, and he continues to believe that vandals are responsible for the damage to the Reflecting Pool. Burgum dismissed Pirro’s argument in a social media post on Saturday, saying, “The evidence is clear, vandals have repeatedly caused damage to the Reflecting Pool.”
However, internal communications CNN received through FOIA requests between the National Park Service — which oversaw the project under the Department of Interior — and DC Water from March through last month make no mention of any vandalism as the department was planning to drain the pool.
Trump had said the pool would need to be drained to make repairs caused by the alleged vandalism — yet an email from NPS acknowledged as early as July 1 that the pool would need to be drained due to algae. The agency also weighed whether to dye the pool water; in the past, the water has been dyed black to help reflect better.
Hearn has legal options that could unearth more embarrassing details on how his case was handled. The judge hasn’t officially dismissed Hearn’s charges as of Monday afternoon, and his lawyers are expected to file a response to Pirro’s request to dismiss the case this week.
“Nothing is off the table,” said Michael R. Bromwich, an attorney representing Hearn.
Among his options: referring the prosecutors involved to a bar disciplinary authority; asking inspectors general to look at the conduct of the Justice Department and Interior Department; filing lawsuits; seeking more of the grand jury record documenting the prosecutors’ presentation of the indictment; and asking the judge to dismiss the case so it cannot be brought again. Pirro’s office has so far sought only to dismiss Hearn’s charge without prejudice, meaning prosecutors wouldn’t be barred from attempting to revive the case later.
