The attorneys for three-time U.S. Olympian David Hearn have issued a powerful statement after D.C. attorney Jeanine Pirro announced a felony charge against Hearn for touching the Reflecting Pool water, in an attempt to blame others for Trump's failures."Davey Hearn is innocent. These charges are outrageous and should be alarming to every American. This indictment reflects the Administration's effort to shift blame for their own failures. On the eve of our nation's Independence Day, Americans should be deeply concerned by the misuse of government power against an ordinary citizen based on a concocted narrative. The justice system exists to determine facts, not to provide political cover." - Norm Eisen, Democracy Defenders Fund & Mary Dohrmann, Washington Litigation Group
