Trump clashes with prosecutor over Reflecting Pool damage claims

Pirro's filing indicated the damage was likely due to a botched installation and rushed renovation ahead of the America 250 celebration, contradicting Trump's insistence on vandalism. This development represents a setback for the Justice Department, which had previously supported Trump's claims, and Hearn's legal team is considering further action. AI
