Knives sharpen for top Trump ally after fatal mistake enrages him: journalist

Journalist Molly Jong-Fast said U.S. attorney Jeanine Pirro could be facing job trouble after her office dropped charges tied to a vandalism allegation involving the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Jong-Fast made the comments during an appearance on MSNBC, arguing Pirro angered President Donald Trump after admitting in a court filing that damage to the pool was caused by a “flawed installation,” not vandalism. Jong-Fast described Pirro as a loyal TV ally of Trump and suggested that, especially for women in his orbit, survival can depend on pleasing him. Former Republican campaign strategist Stuart Stevens also weighed in, criticizing what he called Trump’s focus on the Reflecting Pool.
