U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro met with President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday afternoon, according to sources familiar with the matter. The meeting occurred as questions about Pirro's future in her role have arisen.
This encounter followed recent public criticism from Trump regarding Pirro's decision to drop charges against individuals accused of damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Trump had stated that Pirro "choked" and "folded like an umbrella" in her handling of the case.
A White House official declined to comment on the meeting, instead referring ABC News to Trump's earlier remarks in the Oval Office where he expressed his dissatisfaction with Pirro's decision. Sources also indicated that Trump has privately discussed the possibility of firing Pirro with aides, although they cautioned that no final decisions have been made.
