Rather than admit he screwed up by hiring an incompetent donor buddy to repair, clean, and repaint the Reflecting Pool, Trump attempted to destroy the life of an innocent man. By any objectable metric, this is something only a horrible human being would do.
She fucking lied.
Piro said he "forcefully and violently" pulled up the pool's bottom liner with both hands. It was a "deliberate act" and "an affront to the dignity of our shared history."
The chilling thing about the Trump administration falsely accusing David Hearn is what it reveals: they have no hesitation targeting ordinary American citizens when it serves their agenda. It’s the same playbook they used with Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and countless others. The pattern is unmistakable. When the truth becomes inconvenient, they pick a citizen, invent a villain, and count on the wreckage to advance their interests. This is an administration willing to inflict real harm on ordinary people to protect its own power.
This is assault. Under NY law, a class D violent felony. Maximum 7 years in prison. Minimum 2. Add the fact that there’s more than one agent, gang assault. A class C violent felony. Max 15 years. Minimum 3.5.
LOOK AT THIS COWARD.
This weak, unhinged, feckless excuse for law enforcement waddles across the road, completely unprovoked, and tries to pepper-spray an innocent woman directly in the face. He’s such a loser that he misses. She poses no threat, resists no one and interferes with nothing.
https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY explains: Pepper spray is force. Using it against a peaceful bystander who poses no immediate threat likely constitutes excessive force in violation of the Fourth Amendment. If intended to punish her for observing or recording, it also violates the First Amendment.

FLASH: Justice Dept seeks to dismiss Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool criminal case against former Olympian David Hearn
Trump Admin acknowledges: "Damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of flawed installation by the contractor"
Jeanine Pirro should be disbarred. It is absolutely indefensible and gross misconduct to rush through a criminal indictment for political reasons before an investigation has been completed, which resulted in false evidence being presented to a grand jury.
BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Justice has moved to dismiss its case against former Olympian Ryan Wedding, who was charged with vandalizing the Reflecting Pool in Washington, according to a new court filing.
An ICE agent pepper sprayed a woman in New York for videotaping.
Recording in public is protected by the First Amendment.
He must be held accountable 💯
Whoa! A fully masked ICE Nazi pepper sprays a woman in the face in New York City for videoing him. This is what tyranny looks like. Videoing the police is a constitutionally protected right under the First Amendment.
They lied about the whole thing and now admit the contractor screwed up the Reflecting Pool installation. And because they were in a rush to indict to please Trump, they presented false evidence to a grand jury. https://t.co/qk1RPaREZ4
