Despite accusations by President Trump regarding her handling of a vandalism case involving the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, Pirro met with Trump at the White House and was not dismissed, suggesting her continued influence may be due to her loyalty and past successes, such as notable crime reductions in D.C. Additionally,the piece highlights how othre Trump officials,like FBI Director Kash Patel and War Secretary Pete Hegseth,have maintained their positions despite controversies,emphasizing Trump\u2019s recent tendency to defend his staff before making firings. The article also notes the broader pattern of high-profile departures from the administration, often influenced by personal health issues or strategic relationships with Trump, and illustrates his history of reconciling with former allies after initial disagreements.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Republican operatives who have worked within and in support of President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"4\">Donald Trump<\/a>\u2018s administrations do not expect U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jeanine-pirro\/\">Jeanine Pirro<\/a> to be fired after the president accused her of mishandling cases involving alleged vandalism of the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/abraham-lincoln\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"2373\">Lincoln Memorial <\/a>Reflecting Pool.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pirro met with Trump on Monday at the White House, but it does not appear that the president asked for her resignation, even as rumors abound that he is considering removing her from office, and after she was spotted leaving the West Wing wheeling a box and a briefcase.<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4673118\/trump-not-happy-chevron-exxon-mobil-too-much-money-iran-war\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Trump says Chevron and Exxon Mobil are making \u2018too much money\u2019 amid Iran war<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4673049\/trump-jeanine-pirro-choked-case-reflecting-pool-vandalism\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Trump says Jeanine Pirro \u2018choked\u2019 in Reflecting Pool vandalism case: \u2018Folded like an umbrella\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4672470\/watch-live-trump-signs-executive-orders-white-house-2\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>WATCH LIVE: Trump signs executive orders at White House<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, sources familiar with the situation pointed to Trump\u2019s history of dropping past animosity with Republicans who appease him as one reason Pirro still has a shot of lasting beyond this week\u2019s tenuous moment.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-15\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf you do something to prove your loyalty, he will generally let you back in the circle,\u201d one Republican who previously worked for Trump said. \u201cSo if she were to refile the charges or make some big public statement, she could probably save herself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pirro filed a motion to dismiss the indictment against former Olympian David Hearn, accused of vandalizing the renovated Reflecting Pool, on Friday, leading to heated words from Trump. The multimillion-dollar renovation has been riddled with flawed installation, green algae bloom in the water, and alleged acts of vandalism from the beginning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think she choked because the judge was really vicious,\u201d Trump said Monday in the Oval Office. \u201cInstead of going after the people that did it, the judge went after her and went after her department, and I guess she choked.

Through the Make D.C. Safe and Beautiful Initiative, 8,406 arrests and 856 illegal guns were removed from the streets in 2025. Homicides were also down 60%, robberies down 49%, carjackings down 68%, and overall crime down 32% compared to the same time in 2024.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/fbi\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"516\">FBI<\/a> Director <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kash-patel\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"11691\">Kash Patel<\/a> is probably a good example of another high-up Trump official who has outlasted rumors of being dismissed by Trump by appealing to the president\u2019s good graces, one source familiar told the <em>Washington Examiner.<\/em> Reports of Patel\u2019s drinking behavior do not appear to have ultimately made a difference with Trump, as the White House repeatedly defended the FBI director.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-4\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-4\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-25\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-4\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">War Secretary <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/pete-hegseth\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"1991\">Pete Hegseth<\/a> has also faced scrutiny over increasing funding for the ongoing <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/iran\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"100\">Iran<\/a> war, the leak of sensitive military plans to a journalist last year, and the repeated U.S. strikes on alleged drug vessels in the Caribbean Sea. Yet Trump has continued to stand by Hegseth, who remains loyal to the president.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a notable departure from his first term, Trump has been reluctant to fire members of his administration hastily, which could benefit Pirro. The president has tended to defend members of his team first before later dismissing them or assigning them to other jobs, for example, now-U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/mike-waltz\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"11682\">Mike Waltz<\/a> and special envoy for the Shield of the Americas <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kristi-noem\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"3710\">Kristi Noem<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/4674442\/pirro-drops-charges-reflecting-pool-vandalism-trump\/\">PIRRO THROWS DROPS CHARGES IN THREE MORE REFLECTING POOL VANDALISM CASES AMID TRUMP OUTRAGE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-5\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-5\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-26\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-5\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt is almost impossible for someone to function credibly once it\u2019s clear they\u2019ve fallen out of favor,\u201d GOP strategist Dennis Lennox said. \u201cThat said, Trump has a long history of breakups and reconciliations. Whether someone bounces back depends less on the initial disagreement than on whether Trump ultimately sees value in bringing them back into the fold.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regardless, there have still been some high-profile departures this term, including former Attorney General <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/pam-bondi\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"11687\">Pam Bondi <\/a>and onetime Director of National Intelligence <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/tulsi-gabbard\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"1024\">Tulsi Gabbard<\/a>, both of whom attributed their leaving the administration to cancer.
