case against former Olympian <strong>David Hearn <\/strong>and others due to a dearth of evidence required for a successful prosecution.<\/p>\n<p>When withdrawing the charge, Pirro acknowledged in her court filing that the damage to the pool\u2019s lining \u201cwas the result of flawed installation\u201d and a \u201crush to complete the project,&#8221; not vandalism.<\/p>\n<p>That hasn&#8217;t stopped Trump from continuing\u00a0 to claim that the pool&#8217;s expensive blue bottom was cut away by someone with a knife or boxcutter, causing it to peel up and necessitate replacement.<\/p>\n<p>Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/media\/news\/trump-considering-ousting-jeanine-pirro-over-reflecting-pool-dustup-report\/\">told reporters<\/a> that Pirro \u201cchoked\u201d and \u201cfolded like an umbrella\u201d by dropping the charges, which he still claims to have video evidence to back up.<\/p>\n<p>CNN&#8217;s <strong>Alayna Treene<\/strong> reported last week that Trump was &#8220;very strongly upset&#8221; that Pirro didn&#8217;t give him a heads up about her decision to drop the filing &#8220;that he\u2019s considering removing her from her role.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Several days before he was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/politics\/todd-blanche-narrowly-confirmed-as-trumps-attorney-general-in-overnight-vote\">narrowly confirmed as full-time attorney general<\/a>, <strong>Todd Blanche<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/politics\/todd-blanche-tosses-jeanine-pirro-under-the-bus-when-asked-about-trump-possibly-firing-her-hes-allowed-to-do-that\/\">was asked<\/a> if the president was planning to fire Pirro.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hypothetically, if the president chose to fire a United States attorney, it turns out he\u2019s allowed to do that because he\u2019s the president of the United States,&#8221; Blanche said. &#8220;And, by the way, if President Trump wanted to fire anybody within his administration, he understands he has the power to do that. So when he makes a decision about whether to fire a U.S. attorney or anybody else, that\u2019s his call.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Blanche is replacing former Attorney General <strong>Pam Bondi<\/strong> who was reportedly fired over her handling of the Epstein files.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/media\/news\/squad-trump-official-posts-a-team-photo-with-jeanine-pirro-despite-trumps-recent-attacks\/\">\u2018SQUAD!\u2019 Trump Official Posts a Team Photo With Jeanine Pirro \u2014 Despite Trump\u2019s Recent Attacks<\/a> first appeared on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\">Mediaite<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Instagram Screenshot Donald Trump&#8217;s Protocol Chief Monica Crowley posted a photo of the president&#8217;s &#8220;squad&#8221; on social media this weekend with one very interesting inclusion, given the president&#8217;s recent public reprimand.
