They could prove it without reasonable doubt,\u201d host Kristen Welker said on <i>Meet the Press<\/i> Sunday, after charges against former Olympian David Hearn were dropped.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>With the Trump administration now conceding a \u201cbotched\u201d repair job, Kennedy, 74, admitted: \u201cWell, the whole thing is a multiple vehicle pileup.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>He then said of Trump\u2019s vandalism conspiracy: \u201cLet me start with the president. The president says it was caused by vandals. I don\u2019t know whether he really believes that or it\u2019s part of his political messaging or he\u2019s just thinking out loud.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy said of his boss: \u201cYou and I both know the president well. He exists loudly and he grows anxious when he has an unexpressed thought. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not saying he doesn\u2019t really believe it, I just don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The attorney offered a similar assessment on Jeanine Pirro, who had initially backed Trump\u2019s assertion that vandals were to blame for the Reflecting Pool fiasco before backtracking on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe stakes are a lot higher for U.S. Attorney Pirro. You can\u2019t lie to a federal judge,\u201d he said. \u201cIf she can\u2019t prove her case, she was right to pull back. Because if you fool around with a federal judge, you will find out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In classic Kennedy form, the senator used a bizarre anecdote to illustrate his point. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=4764\">MAGA Rep Accused of Wife Beating Streams Jaw-Dropping Attack on Her<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I was in private practice one time, I put my briefcase on a brand new conference table bought by a federal judge,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd he got so mad, I\u2019ll never forget, I thought I was going to get to spend overnight with bubba in central lockup.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Getting back to the matter at hand, Kennedy mused: \u201cFederal judges will not tolerate\u2014and so if\u2014I don\u2019t know why she filed a suit without doing a full investigation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe says she relied on the Department of the Interior, but she was smart to pull it back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before being discharged pre-trial, Hearn could have faced up to a decade behind bars for his alleged tampering with the pool.<\/p>\n<p>In a Friday court filing, however, Trump\u2019s Department of Justice said new information from the DOI suggested that \u201cdamage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of flawed installation by the contractor\u201d alongside \u201cthe rush to complete the project prior to events associated with the America 250 celebration in the weeks surrounding Independence Day 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>On Saturday, Trump admitted the possibility of some \u201ccontractor difficulty,\u201d but stood by his claims that vandals were behind the bulk of the damage.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=4762\">MAGA Rep Shouts Through Testy CNN Interview<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
