Trump Stunned as Judge Dismissed It…
Summary
Judge Adelman dismissed the indictment against Olympic kayaker Davey Hearn with prejudice, ruling that the DOJ engaged in bad-faith prosecution after admitting the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool damage was contractor error. The judge cited video evidence of President Trump pressuring prosecutors to revive the meritless case for political reasons. This ruling stands as a victory for the rule of law against executive interference, though the DOJ may appeal to the D.C. Court of Appeals.
