New Facts: Pirro Presents Evidence at White House
On Monday evening, August 3, 2026, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to the White House to show President Donald Trump what caused damage to the Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C.
The Reflecting Pool is the long water basin on the National Mall between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. It was recently damaged, and the cause has become a point of dispute.
Pirro, the top federal prosecutor in the nation’s capital, personally delivered the materials in an effort to persuade the president about the cause of the damage.
Accounts differ on her motive: some describe it as a straightforward explanation of the damage, while others say she was also trying to avoid being fired.
The specific contents of the evidence box were not described. No further steps tied to the meeting were publicly detailed.
