Judge Todd Edelman's ruling prevents the Justice Department from refiling charges against Hearn, who was accused of damaging the pool’s peeling coating.
ABC News
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.
