Federal prosecutors moved to dismiss charges against three-time Olympic canoeist David Hearn on July 31, 2026. The 19-page motion from U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro's office stated that damage to the $16.4 million Reflecting Pool resulted from a botched installation rather than vandalism, citing uniform deterioration including in the middle of the pool. The pool had reopened in June before developing green algae shortly afterward.
