President Trump shouted at U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro during a meeting at the White House on Monday evening. The argument was about a legal case involving damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Pirro had dropped charges against a man accused of destroying the pool's lining. A court document said the damage came from poor construction work, not vandalism. Before the meeting, Trump publicly criticised Pirro, saying she had "folded like an umbrella." The two have known each other for many years, and Pirro supported Trump on television before taking her current job as Washington's top federal prosecutor. After the meeting, it was unclear whether she would keep her position. Some sources said she was safe for now, but White House officials described her job as uncertain.
