President Donald Trump, who has said US Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro “choked” over the Reflecting Pool vandalism case, did not fire his longtime ally during an afternoon White House meeting, nor did she offer her resignation, multiple sources told CNN.

Trump had been considering removing her after the Justice Department concluded that the problems with the pool stemmed from a flawed renovation rather than vandalism, two people familiar with his thinking told CNN earlier Monday. The president spent the weekend fuming about that decision, one of the sources said, noting he has been “furious” with Pirro — frustration he later voiced publicly in the Oval Office.
