Pirro's office filed to dismiss criminal charges against David Hearn after the administration admitted the damage was due to "flawed installation by the contractor," not vandalism. Trump reportedly considered firing Pirro, accusing her of "choking" and blaming the judge, despite his administration's failure to produce evidence against Hearn. The court filing revealed that the recently applied blue sealant started to peel "almost immediately" after renovations, and the Department of Interior provided "less than fulsome information" initially. The administration spent nearly $14.7 million on the pool renovation, bypassing competitive bidding for a no-bid contract, and Trump continued to insist on vandalism despite evidence pointing to a "rushed and botched installation."
