President Donald Trump says he has not decided whether to keep Jeanine Pirro as U.S. Attorney for D.C. after Reflecting Pool case decision

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he has not decided whether to keep Jeanine Pirro as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia after her office moved to drop charges involving former Olympian David Hearn, according to a report by The Hill.

Pirro is the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, a federal prosecutorial post that oversees criminal cases brought in U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia and is responsible for decisions on whether and how to pursue charges.

The case at the center of the question involved allegations that David Hearn damaged the Reflecting Pool, a prominent landmark in Washington. The report says Pirro’s office decided to drop the charges, prompting questions about whether the Trump administration would take personnel action related to her role.

When reporters asked Trump about Pirro’s future, the President said, “I haven’t made a determination,” the report states. The comment indicates that, as of Tuesday, Trump had not publicly resolved the issue of whether Pirro would remain in the job following the charging decision.

Decisions about U.S. Attorney positions can follow prosecutorial actions that become politically and legally salient, particularly when they involve high-profile facts, landmark locations, or public messaging about enforcement priorities. In this instance, the personnel question has been tied to the outcome of the Reflecting Pool matter.

Because the President’s remarks were limited to whether he had made a determination, the report does not provide a timetable for any personnel decision, nor does it describe any formal administrative step taken in response to the dropped charges.

For now, the practical effect of Trump’s statement is that the administration has not publicly committed to retaining or replacing Pirro in reaction to the Reflecting Pool case decision, leaving the matter open pending further statements or actions by the White House and the Justice Department.

If additional developments occur, they would likely be reflected through standard administrative processes for U.S. Attorney transitions, including announcements about leadership changes or responses to the charging decision that prompted the inquiry in the first place.
