President Trump publicly criticized Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for Washington, D. C., calling her 'folded like an umbrella' after her handling of the reflecting pool case. Despite the criticism, her position appears secure, according to two people familiar with discussions about her role.

The meeting between Pirro and Trump at the White House followed Trump’s public remarks, which highlighted tensions over her performance. Pirro’s job was not immediately at risk, though the case has raised questions about accountability. The reflecting pool incident involved a high-profile investigation, and her response drew scrutiny from the administration.

White House officials did not confirm details of the meeting, but sources indicated reassurances were offered. Trump’s comments underscored ongoing debates about leadership and transparency in federal agencies. The outcome of the meeting may influence future decisions about her tenure.
