华盛顿，8月3日（路透社）——美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周一严厉批评美国检察官珍妮·皮尔罗撤销华盛顿林肯纪念堂倒影池涉嫌破坏案，称她在法官的压力下“掉了链子”，“像雨伞一样垮了下来”。
“不去追究肇事者，反而法官盯上了她和她的部门，我猜她就是掉链子了。我不知道到底发生了什么，”特朗普对记者说。

皮尔罗的办公室周五在一份法庭文件中表示，损坏是由施工质量不佳造成的，而非蓄意破坏，并请求撤销对前奥运选手戴维·赫恩的指控。赫恩被控在上个月美国建国250周年庆祝活动前夕故意损坏新翻修的倒影池。
特朗普称监控录像显示有人切割了倒影池周围新安装的防水材料，并认为身为其亲密政治盟友的皮尔罗本应继续追查此案。
“皮尔罗犯了个错误。这就是蓄意破坏，”特朗普说，他补充道自己对皮尔罗“非常失望”，并且“她像雨伞一样垮了下来”。
皮尔罗曾是福克斯新闻主持人，也是特朗普的长期盟友，现任华盛顿联邦首席检察官。特朗普未透露是否在公开斥责皮尔罗前与其直接沟通过，当被问及是否会重新考虑她的职位时，他也未作答。
皮尔罗的办公室和白宫办公室未立即回复置评请求。
倒影池翻修工程是特朗普在华盛顿推进的多个项目之一。他曾拆除白宫东翼以腾出空间建造一座耗资4亿美元的宴会厅，并提议在林肯纪念堂和阿灵顿国家公墓之间修建一座大型拱门。

WASHINGTON, Aug 3 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump sharply criticized U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro on Monday for dropping a case of alleged vandalism at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, saying she had “choked” under pressure from a judge and “folded like an umbrella.”
“Instead of going after the people that did it, the judge went after her and went after her department, and I guess she choked. I don’t know what the hell happened,” Trump told reporters.

Pirro’s office said in a court filing on Friday that the damage resulted from shoddy construction, not vandalism, and moved to drop charges against former Olympian David Hearn, who was accused of deliberately damaging the newly renovated pool ahead of the nation’s 250th birthday celebration last month.
Trump claimed surveillance footage showed people cutting newly installed waterproofing material around the pool and argued that Pirro, a close political ally, should have continued pursuing the case.
“Pirro made a mistake. It was vandalism,” Trump said, adding he was “really disappointed” in Pirro and that “she folded like an umbrella.”
Pirro, a former Fox News host and longtime Trump ally, is the top federal prosecutor in Washington. Trump did not say whether he had spoken directly with her before publicly rebuking her and did not answer when asked if he was reconsidering her role.
Pirro’s office and the White House office did not immediately respond to a request seeking comment.
The reflecting pool renovation is among several projects Trump has pursued across Washington. He has demolished the White House East Wing to make way for a $400 million ballroom and proposed a large arch between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery.
