华盛顿 — 美国总统特朗普周一公开斥责他亲自任命的哥伦比亚特区联邦检察官珍妮·皮尔罗撤销林肯纪念堂反思池破坏案的决定，但回避了有关他是否打算解雇皮尔罗的问题。
美国司法部周五提交的法庭文件显示，他们将撤销对67岁前奥运选手戴维·赫恩的破坏指控，称内政部错误地将水池衬里的损坏归咎于人为破坏，证据显示“承包商失误”和“安装失误”才是问题根源。
这一决定令特朗普极为不满，他称皮尔罗“搞砸了”且“犯了一个错误”。
“我对珍妮·皮尔罗感到失望，”特朗普周一在椭圆形办公室对记者表示，“真的对珍妮·皮尔罗很失望。她像伞一样乖乖认输了。”
“坦率地说，我认为她搞砸了，”他说，“……我猜她是搞砸了。我不知道到底发生了什么。”
据哥伦比亚广播公司在华盛顿高等法院查阅的法庭文件显示，自周五以来，皮尔罗的办公室还提出撤销或表示将放弃对另外三名被控破坏反思池的人员的起诉。其中两人面临轻罪指控，一人被控重罪。
当一名记者问及特朗普是否会重新考虑皮尔罗的联邦检察官职位时，特朗普厉声斥责，另一名记者询问他是否会解雇皮尔罗，他也不予回应。

特朗普此前已在Truth Social上表达过不满，他周六写道，自己“百分之百不同意”皮尔罗关于反思池案件的决定。但周一在椭圆形办公室的表态则更为严厉。
当被问及特朗普是否考虑罢免皮尔罗的职务时，白宫让哥伦比亚广播公司去参考特朗普在椭圆形办公室的表态。
家住马里兰州贝塞斯达附近的赫恩表示，他6月19日骑车64英里途中顺路来到水池边，伸手触摸水池后就被当局逮捕。他被指控撕下了水池的一块密封胶，但他否认有任何不当行为。
赫恩的律师周五在一份声明中表示，这起案件“本就不该被提起”，政府“应该向赫恩先生道歉”。
撤销指控对皮尔罗来说是一次180度大转弯。在赫恩案首次被公布时，她曾召开新闻发布会称：“我脑海中最令人反感的画面之一，就是国家纪念碑被个人贬低、捆绑、推倒、涂鸦和损坏。这种不受控制的破坏行为和骚乱演变成了犯罪行为，这也是我们今天站在这里的原因。”

Trump slams Jeanine Pirro for dropping Reflecting Pool vandalism cases, says she “choked”
August 3, 2026 / 6:54 PM EDT / CBS News
Washington — President Trump on Monday publicly rebuked Jeanine Pirro, his handpicked U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, for dropping the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool vandalism cases, but ignored questions about whether he intends to fire her.
The Justice Department submitted a court filing Friday moving to dismiss vandalism charges against 67-year-old former Olympian David Hearn, saying the Interior Department incorrectly attributed damage in the pool’s lining to vandalism and that evidence showed “contractor error” and a “botched installation” were to blame.
That move did not rest well with Mr. Trump, who said Pirro “choked” and “made a mistake.”
“I was disappointed with Jeanine Pirro,” Mr. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Monday. “Really disappointed with Jeanine Pirro. She folded like an umbrella.”
“Frankly, I think she choked,” he said. “…I guess she choked. I don’t know what the hell happened.”
According to court filings reviewed by CBS News in D.C. Superior Court, since Friday, Pirro’s office also moved to dismiss or said it would drop its prosecutions against three more people who were charged with vandalizing the Reflecting Pool. Two had been facing misdemeanor charges and one was charged with a felony.
The president snapped at one reporter who asked if he’s reconsidering Pirro’s role as U.S. attorney and ignored another question from a reporter about whether he’ll fire Pirro.

The president had previously voiced his displeasure on Truth Social, writing Saturday, “I disagree 100%” with Pirro’s decision on the Reflecting Pool case. But Monday’s comments in the Oval Office went further.
Asked if the president is considering removing Pirro from her post, the White House referred CBS News to the president’s comments in the Oval Office.
Hearn, who lives in nearby Bethesda, Maryland, said he stopped by the pool on June 19 while on a 64-mile bike ride, and authorities arrested him after he reached down to touch it. He was accused of ripping a piece of sealant from the pool, but he denied any wrongdoing.
Attorneys for Hearn said in a statement Friday that the case “should never have been brought” and that the government “owes Mr. Hearn an apology.”
Moving to drop the charges was an about-face for Pirro. She held a news conference when the case against Hearn was first announced, saying: “One of the most offensive images that I hold in my mind are the images of national monuments that are being debased, roped, torn down, graffitied, and damaged by individuals. This unchecked vandalism and civil disorder turns into criminal behavior, and that’s why we are here today.”
