US Attorney General backs prosecutor criticized by Trump over reflecting pool case

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

US Attorney General Todd Blanche has publicly defended prosecutor Jeanine Pirro after President Donald Trump criticized her decision to dismiss a federal vandalism case concerning the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Blanche stated that Pirro is doing a "phenomenal job" and that judging her on a single case with the available evidence would be unfair. While acknowledging Trump's frustration, Blanche affirmed his support for Pirro and indicated that prosecutorial decisions are made with integrity, though he would consider the President's opinion on the matter.
