The Department of Justice (DOJ) has dropped its case against former Olympic canoeist David 'Davey' Hearn, who was charged with vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. The DOJ admitted that its allegations against Hearn 'don’t hold water'. Republican pundit Scott Jennings compared the situation to 'a monkey having intimate relations with a football', stating that Hearn is owed an apology. Democratic strategist Maria Cardona criticized the Trump administration's use of the DOJ as a political weapon and predicted that this incident would reflect negatively on Republicans in the midterm elections.
