President Donald Trump said he "100%" disagrees with interim U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro's decision to dismiss a felony charge against a man accused of damaging the White House reflecting pool, calling the move the wrong outcome in a case involving damage to a historic federal site. Speaking to reporters, Trump said the alleged vandalism should have been prosecuted and maintained that those responsible for damaging government property should face legal consequences.

The defendant had been charged in connection with damage to the reflecting pool on the White House grounds, but prosecutors from Pirro's office later moved to dismiss the felony count. A federal judge approved the request, ending that portion of the case. The Justice Department has not publicly provided a detailed explanation for the dismissal, though federal prosecutors have broad authority to reassess charges based on the evidence, legal standards, or other prosecutorial considerations.
