Jeanine Pirro’s office moved to dismiss the indictment it had obtained against David Hearn, a former Olympic canoeist, telling a court on Friday that alleged damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was actually caused by flawed installation and a rush to finish work for the America 250 celebration. Prosecutors acknowledged they had presented the case to a grand jury and secured an indictment but later concluded that the evidence pointed to contractor error, a reversal that came as Hearn’s attorneys probed the indictment process. The episode undercuts the Trump Justice Department’s frequent efforts to advance politically sensitive charges and reinforces the editorial point that grand juries remain a crucial institutional check even when prosecutors win indictments. The article warns that courts now have additional reasons to scrutinize such indictments and notes that if Senate Republicans confirm President Trump’s attorney general nominee Todd Blanche, grand juries will remain important given Blanche’s willingness to use government power for the president’s personal ends.
