Judge bars future Reflecting Pool charges against former Olympian
The federal case against a former Olympian accused by the Trump administration of damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is officially dead after a Washington, D.C., judge ruled Thursday that the Department of Justice (DOJ) cannot try to charge him again in the future.
What the coverage shows
All three outlets frame the story around the judge’s permanent dismissal of the Reflecting Pool case, with The Hill using the legal shorthand “with prejudice” and NBC News emphasizing that Jeanine Pirro’s office is barred from bringing charges again. CNBC is the only outlet to mention Trump’s criticism of Pirro, and it also adds that the judge cited a risk of new charges.
