Charges were dismissed against David Hearn, the former Olympian wrongly accused of vandalizing the Reflecting Pool, and a judge has barred prosecutors from trying to revive the case against him.

Todd Blanche, the acting attorney general, said that President Trump “has every right to be extraordinarily frustrated with the damage done to our national monuments in this city and elsewhere.”

David Hearn, center, pleaded not guilty this month to a felony charge of vandalism. Prosecutors had accused him of ripping the Reflecting Pool’s lining.
