The Justice Department has moved to dismiss the criminal case against former Olympian David Hearn, who was accused of damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. In a filing, the DOJ admitted that the damage was caused by a 'botched installation' during a $14 million renovation project, not vandalism as previously claimed. This admission is a significant reversal for the Trump administration, which had initially blamed Hearn and other individuals for the damage.
