- David Hearn had been accused of vandalising a reflecting pool
- Fox News hit back at Trump in a notable, eye-catching way

## Summary

Fox News reportedly responded in a pointed, eye-catching manner after Donald Trump criticised the network's former star host Jeanine Pirro over her decision to drop charges against David Hearn, a man accused of vandalising a reflecting pool. The episode highlights tension between Trump and a network that has long been considered close to him, with Pirro's move as a prosecutor drawing the president's public ire and prompting an unusual on-air or public reaction from her former employer.

Pirro, who left her Fox News hosting role to take up a prosecutorial position, faced Trump's criticism after opting not to pursue charges against Hearn over the reflecting pool vandalism. Fox News' response to the president's attacks on her was notable enough to draw attention in its own right, underscoring the network's complicated relationship with Trump even as many of its personalities remain closely aligned with him.
