That move did not rest well with Mr. Trump, who said Pirro &#8220;choked&#8221; and &#8220;made a mistake.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was disappointed with Jeanine Pirro,&#8221; Mr. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Monday. &#8220;Really disappointed with Jeanine Pirro. She folded like an umbrella.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Frankly, I think she choked,&#8221; he said. &#8220;&#8230;I guess she choked. I don&#8217;t know what the hell happened.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The president snapped at one reporter who asked if he&#8217;s reconsidering her role as U.S. attorney, and ignored another question from a reporter about whether he&#8217;ll fire Pirro.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The president had previously voiced his displeasure on Truth Social, writing Saturday, &#8220;I disagree 100%&#8221; with Pirro&#8217;s decision on the Reflecting Pool case. But Monday&#8217;s comments in the Oval Office went further. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Asked if the president is considering removing Pirro from her post, the White House referred CBS News to the president&#8217;s comments in the Oval Office.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hearn, who lives in nearby Bethesda, Maryland, said he\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-reflecting-pool-vandalism-arrest-washington-dc\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">stopped by the pool<\/a><\/span>\u00a0on June 19 while on a 64-mile bike ride, and authorities arrested him after he reached down to the water. He was accused of ripping a piece of sealant from the pool, but he denied any\u00a0 wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<p>Attorneys for Hearn said in a statement Friday that the case &#8220;should never have been brought,&#8221; and that the government &#8220;owes Mr. Hearn an apology.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Moving to drop the charges was an about-face for Pirro. She held a news conference when the case against Hearn was first announced, saying: &#8220;One of the most offensive images that I hold in my mind are the images of national monuments that are being debased, roped, torn down, graffitied, and damaged by individuals. This unchecked vandalism and civil disorder turns into criminal behavior, and that&#8217;s why we are here today.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<p
