据熟悉此事的消息人士周二向CBS新闻透露，美国首都最高联邦检察官周一携带一箱满满当当的证据前往白宫，旨在向特朗普总统证明，倒影池的受损原因是施工粗制滥造，而非人为破坏。
身为总统坚定盟友的华盛顿特区联邦检察官珍妮娜·皮罗，周一在椭圆形办公室一场时而激烈的私人会谈中阐述了这一观点，而就在数小时前，特朗普公开指责她撤销了对奥运皮划艇运动员戴维·赫恩的刑事指控。
随后有人拍到她带着一个大白色箱子和其他袋子离开白宫，消息人士称，箱内装着从内政部收集到的所有证据，这些证据可证明赫恩及其他几名人员并未犯下故意毁坏财物罪。
皮罗办公室的一名发言人拒绝置评。

当天早些时候，皮罗的办公室于周五提交动议，驳回了针对赫恩的重罪指控，特朗普随即指责皮罗“像雨伞一样轻易妥协”。
在这份动议中，检察官们指责内政部隐瞒了关键证据，称他们直到从华盛顿特区高等法院的大陪审团获得起诉书后才看到这些证据。他们表示，新收到的信息表明，受损情况是由承包商“施工失误”造成的，而非特朗普和内政部长道格·伯戈姆所称的人为破坏。周六，伯戈姆在X平台上发帖称：“证据确凿，人为破坏者多次对倒影池造成损坏。”
美国检察官办公室随后也提出动议，撤销对另外三名被控破坏倒影池的人员的刑事指控。
皮罗办公室此前在涉及特朗普政敌案件以及与特朗普个人利益相关话题的多起备受瞩目的案件中遭遇挫折。
今年早些时候，一个大陪审团一致拒绝就六名民主党议员发布视频呼吁军人不执行他们认为非法的命令一案提起公诉。从历史上看，大陪审团拒绝提起公诉的情况已经极为罕见，更遑论全体一致拒绝。
随后，美国哥伦比亚特区联邦地区法院首席法官驳回了皮罗办公室发出的大陪审团传票，该传票旨在调查前美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔及美联储本身，相关调查与一项耗资巨大的翻新工程以及鲍威尔就该工程向国会发表的声明有关。
法官在裁决中表示，这些传票不过是向鲍威尔施压以降低利率的借口。皮罗后来撤销了这项调查，但在此之前，她的几名副手曾突然造访美联储建筑工地，试图进入场地，结果被拒之门外。

Pirro brought box of evidence to show Trump what caused Reflecting Pool damage
August 4, 2026 / 11:56 AM EDT / CBS News
The top federal prosecutor in the nation’s capital carted a box full of evidence to the White House on Monday, in a bid to prove to President Trump that the damage to the Reflecting Pool was caused by shoddy construction and not by vandals, sources familiar with the matter told CBS News on Tuesday.
U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro, a staunch ally of the president, made the case in a sometimes heated private meeting in the Oval Office Monday, hours after Mr. Trump had publicly rebuked her for dropping criminal charges against Olympic canoeist David Hearn.
She was later photographed leaving the White House carting a large white box and other bags, which sources said contained all of the evidence collected from the Interior Department that exculpated Hearn and several others from criminal vandalism.
A spokesperson for Pirro’s office declined comment.

Mr. Trump earlier in the day had accused Pirro of folding “like an umbrella,” after her office on Friday filed a motion dismissing the felony case against Hearn.
In the motion, prosecutors blamed the Interior Department for holding back critical evidence that they claimed they did not see until after they had secured the indictment from the grand jury in D.C.’s Superior Court. They said new information they had received indicated that the damage was caused by a “botched installation” by a contractor, not vandalism, as the president and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum claimed. On Saturday, Burgum said in a post on X, “The evidence is clear, vandals have repeatedly caused damage to the Reflecting Pool.”
The U.S. attorney’s office has also since moved to dismiss criminal charges against three others accused of vandalizing the Reflecting Pool.
Pirro’s office has suffered a number of high-profile setbacks involving cases related to Mr. Trump’s enemies and topics of personal interest to him.
Earlier this year, a grand jury uniformly refused to indict six Democratic lawmakers for posting a video urging military members not to follow orders they believe are illegal. Historically, a grand jury refusing to return an indictment is highly unusual, let alone having a grand jury unanimously refuse to do so.
Then, the chief judge for the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia quashed grand jury subpoenas issued by Pirro’s office to investigate former Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and the Fed itself in connection with a costly renovation and statements he made to Congress about that work.
In doing so, the judge said the subpoenas were merely a pretext to pressure Powell to lower interest rates. Pirro later dropped the investigation, but not before several of her deputies first made an unannounced visit to the Fed’s construction site and tried to gain access to the property before being turned away.
