Judge permanently dismisses Trump case against ex-Olympian in Reflecting Pool vandalism
Original: Judge permanently dismisses Trump administration's case charging ex-Olympian with Reflecting Pool vandalism. An angry Ja
A federal judge has permanently dismissed the Trump administration's case against a former Olympian accused of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. The ruling drew an angry response from Representative Jamie Raskin, Democrat of Maryland, who criticized the handling of the case. The dismissal is drawing attention as another flashpoint over the Justice Department's prosecution decisions.
Why now: The permanent dismissal of a politically charged federal case, combined with a prominent lawmaker's angry reaction, is fueling debate over the Justice Department's conduct.
