两名了解特朗普想法的消息人士向 CNN 透露，由于司法部得出结论：林肯纪念堂倒影池出现损毁问题根源是翻新工程存在缺陷，而非人为蓄意破坏。总统唐纳德・特朗普正考虑罢免哥伦比亚特区联邦检察官珍妮・皮罗。
其中一名消息人士称，总统对皮罗极为愤怒，整个周末都在痛斥她。消息人士表示，结合特朗普持续对皮罗提出批评，她极有可能被解除职务。
另一名政府高级官员表示，皮罗提交这份法庭文件令特朗普猝不及防。二人本是长期盟友，“总统事先完全不知情。”
CNN 已经联系皮罗办公室与司法部寻求置评。白宫方面并未针对这篇报道实质内容回应，仅让记者参考总统此前针对该法律文书的公开表态。
特朗普周一在白宫椭圆形办公室出席一场无关活动时表示：“坦白讲，我认为她临阵退缩了。法官态度非常强硬，没有去追查肇事者，反而针对她、针对她主管的检察部门。我猜她扛不住压力退缩了。”
“我对珍妮・皮罗非常失望，真的非常失望。” 特朗普补充道，“她像雨伞一样轻易折腰。”
知情人士透露，周一下午，特朗普在白宫同时会见皮罗与内政部长道格・伯根，现场还有其他人员参与。
消息显示，这场会面结束后，皮罗并未遭到解雇，本人也没有主动辞职。
上周，皮罗的办公室向法院提交文书，直接指责内政部等其他联邦机构，没有及时完整提供倒影池翻新工程一团糟的相关信息。
司法部在周五提交的法庭文件中承认，特朗普投入 1400 万美元的倒影池翻新项目仓促上马、施工存在重大缺陷，同时宣布撤销针对前奥运选手戴维・赫恩的刑事指控。赫恩此前被指控蓄意破坏这座地标建筑，他已经在哥伦比亚特区高等法院否认这项重罪指控。
珍妮・皮罗曾是福克斯新闻主持人，她与特朗普周六就这份法律文书通电话。一名听过通话内容的消息人士称，二人交谈气氛十分糟糕。
另有消息表示，皮罗向特朗普解释，这份文书是办公室内资深职业检察官推动出具的。周五提交撤诉申请文书，由一名长期负责哥伦比亚特区高等法院案件的资深检察官签署。
除周六通话外，皮罗已经多次就此事与特朗普沟通。
周六，特朗普在真实社交平台公开发声批评此举：“在倒影池这件事上，我百分百不认同哥伦比亚特区联邦检察官珍妮・皮罗。我不知道她是怎么考虑的？在我看来，这就是一起纯粹的蓄意破坏案件。”
皮罗在法律文书中写道，内政部 “案件启动之初，未能完整提供相关信息。” 文书载明：“倘若内政部一开始就主动交出掌握的全部资料，政府原本不会申请大陪审团提起公诉。”
消息人士表示，尽管皮罗公开指责内政部，但特朗普并没有迁怒伯根。总统依旧坚持观点，认为倒影池破损是人为破坏导致。伯根周六在社交平台反驳皮罗的说法：“证据清晰可见，破坏者多次损毁倒影池设施。”
不过，CNN 依据信息自由法案获取的国家公园管理局（隶属内政部）与华盛顿特区水务局今年 3 月至上月的内部往来邮件显示：管理局规划排空水池期间，所有文件完全没有提及任何人为破坏线索。
特朗普此前宣称，正是嫌疑人蓄意破坏，水池才需要排空维修。但国家公园管理局早在 7 月 1 日的邮件就写明，排空水池是因为藻类滋生。管理局还讨论过给水池水体染色方案；以往水池会被染成黑色，提升倒影效果。
赫恩的律师仍有多种法律途径，有望挖出本案侦查、起诉过程中更多令政府难堪的细节。截至周一下午，法官尚未正式撤销对赫恩的指控，其律师预计本周将针对皮罗提出的撤诉申请提交答辩文书。
赫恩代理律师迈克尔・布罗姆维奇表示：“一切方案都在考量范围内。”
可供采取的法律行动包括：向律师行业纪律机构举报承办检察官；要求监察长调查司法部、内政部相关行为；提起诉讼；申请调取更多大陪审团听证笔录，还原检察官提交指控的全过程；申请法官永久撤销指控，禁止日后再次起诉。
而皮罗办公室目前仅申请临时性撤诉（不损害公诉权利），意味着检方未来仍可以重新发起指控。
Furious Trump is considering removing Pirro over Reflecting Pool filing， sources say
President Donald Trump is considering removing Jeanine Pirro， the US attorney for the District of Columbia， overa Justice Department conclusionthat problems with the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool stemmed from a flawed renovation rather than vandalism， two people familiar with his thinking told CNN．
The president is “furious” with Pirro， one of the sources said， telling CNN that hefumed about her all weekend． They added that based on his criticisms of her， they find it “highly likely she’s removed from her job．”
The other source， a senior administration official， said Trump was “blindsided” by the court filing from Pirro， a longtime ally． “The president did not know beforehand that she was going to do that．”
CNN has reached out to Pirro’s office and the Justice Department for comment． The White House directed CNN to the president’s prior comments on the filing and did not comment on the substance of the reporting．
“Frankly， I think she choked， because the judge was really vicious． Instead of going after the people that did it， the judge went after her and went after her department， and I guess she choked，” Trump said during an unrelated Oval Office event Monday．
“I was disappointed in Jeanine Pirro． Really disappointed in Jeanine Pirro，” he added． “She folded like an umbrella．”
Trump met with both Pirro and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum at the White House on Monday afternoon， a person familiar with the meeting told CNN． Others were also present at the meeting．
Pirro was not fired at the White House meeting and did not resign either， according to sources．
Her office in a court filing last week directly blamed other federal agencies， including the Interior Department， for not being forthcoming with information about the bungled renovation．
The Justice Department acknowledged in the court filing on Friday that the president’s $14 million renovation of the Reflecting Pool was “hasty and botched” and said it was dropping the criminal case against former Olympian David Hearn， who was accused of vandalizing the landmark． Hearn previouslypleaded not guiltyto the felony charge in DC’s Superior Court．
Trump and Pirro， a former Fox News host， spoke by phone on Saturday about the court filing． Their conversation “wasn’t pretty，” said one of the sources， who was read out on the call．
Pirro told Trump it was the career officials in her office that were responsible for the filing， another source said． A longtime prosecutor who oversees prosecutions in DC Superior Court signed the court filing asking to dismiss the case on Friday．
In addition to the Saturday call， Pirro has spoken with Trump multiple times about the situation．
Trump on Saturday publicly criticized the move，posting to Truth Social： “I disagree 100% with Jeanine Pirro， the U．S． Attorney for the District of Columbia， on the Reflecting Pool． I don’t know what she was thinking？ To me， it was a pure case of VANDALISM．”
Pirro argued in her filing that the Department of Interior “provided less than fulsome information at the outset of this case．”
“Had DOI been forthcoming with the information clearly in its possession， the government would not have sought a grand jury indictment，” it read．
Despite those accusations， the president is not angry with Burgum， the sources said， and he continues to believe that vandals are responsible for the damage to the Reflecting Pool． Burgum dismissed Pirro’s argument in a social media post on Saturday， saying， “The evidence is clear， vandals have repeatedly caused damage to the Reflecting Pool．”
However， internal communications CNN received through FOIA requests between the National Park Service — which oversaw the project under the Department of Interior — and DC Water from March through last month make no mention of any vandalism as the department was planning to drain the pool．
Trump had said the pool would need to be drained tomake repairs caused by the alleged vandalism— yet an email from NPS acknowledged as early as July 1 that the pool would need to be drained due to algae． The agency also weighed whether to dye the pool water； in the past， the water has been dyed black to help reflect better．
Hearn has legal options that could unearth more embarrassing details on how his case was handled． The judge hasn’t officially dismissed Hearn’s charges as of Monday afternoon， and his lawyers are expected to file a response to Pirro’s request to dismiss the case this week．
“Nothing is off the table，” said Michael R． Bromwich， an attorney representing Hearn．
Among his options： referring the prosecutors involved to a bar disciplinary authority； asking inspectors general to look at the conduct of the Justice Department and Interior Department； filing lawsuits； seeking more of the grand jury record documenting the prosecutors’ presentation of the indictment； and asking the judge to dismiss the case so it cannot be brought again． Pirro’s office has so far sought only to dismiss Hearn’s charge without prejudice， meaning prosecutors wouldn’t be barred from attempting to revive the case later．
