Caption: Trump Keeps Pirro Despite Criticism Over Reflecting Pool Case. President Donald Trump has decided not to fire U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, despite publicly criticizing her handling of the Reflecting Pool case. Trump met with Pirro at the White House hours after saying she had "choked" over her handling of the Reflecting Pool case. The Justice Department concluded the damage was caused by a flawed $14 million renovation rather than vandalism, leading prosecutors to dismiss the case. Trump said he was disappointed with Pirro and insisted he still believed vandals were responsible for the damage. Pirro reportedly told Trump that career Justice Department officials, not she, were responsible for the court filing. The dispute has also put Pirro at odds with Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, whose department she accused of withholding key information. Burgum rejected that claim and maintained that vandals had repeatedly damaged the Reflecting Pool. Despite reports he was considering her removal, Trump did not fire Pirro during Monday's White House meeting. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
