U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly considering firing Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia and a close confidante, following his fury over a request to dismiss charges against a suspect accused of damaging the iconic Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C., according to sources.

CNN reported, citing sources, that President Trump is weighing Pirro's dismissal, and given the level of his anger, it is highly likely she will be fired. Local time was Monday.

The Wall Street Journal also reported that President Trump is scheduled to meet with Pirro later in the day, with aides stating that he feels betrayed by her.

President Trump's anger stems from a filing made by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia on July 31 asking a court to drop a grand jury indictment against David Hearn, a former national canoe team athlete suspected of damaging the Reflecting Pool.

Previously, President Trump had spent over 10 million dollars draining and repainting the bottom of the Reflecting Pool on the National Mall in Washington to restore its intended appearance of reflecting the blue sky and surrounding buildings.

He had also scheduled the reopening to coincide with Independence Day on July 4, marking the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States.

However, amid hot and humid weather, algae proliferation sparked controversy over waste of taxpayer money, and during this time, an incident involving damage to the Reflecting Pool occurred.

President Trump criticized the incident as vandalism, and prosecutors indicted Hearn in alignment with President Trump's investigative direction.

Authorities had concluded that the peeling of the waterproof material on the bottom of the Reflecting Pool was caused by Hearn's intentional vandalism.

U.S. media outlets subsequently raised suspicions that Hearn might be a scapegoat intended to deflect mounting criticism surrounding the Reflecting Pool project.

However, prosecutors recently concluded that the damage was not caused by vandalism, but rather by shoddy repair work, prompting them to ask the court to dismiss the case.

They cited the reason that the Department of the Interior, the responsible agency, had provided incorrect information.

With prosecutors seemingly defying his stance, President Trump turned his sights on Pirro, who had been classified as an ally.

When asked by reporters about the matter at the White House on that day, President Trump publicly criticized the dismissal request as disgraceful, stating, Pirro made a mistake. It was vandalism.

This is interpreted as an effort not to overturn the narrative he has continuously promoted through social media and other platforms, which attributes the damage to the Reflecting Pool to vandalism.

CNN reported, citing sources, that President Trump maintains his belief that the damage to the Reflecting Pool was the work of a vandal.

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum also dismissed Pirro's claim of shoddy construction on social media over the weekend, countering that the evidence is clear.

Pirro served as a judge and district attorney in Westchester County, New York, before transitioning to a broadcasting career at Fox News.

She is known to have developed a deep friendship with President Trump during his days as a real estate developer in New York.
