    Tulichojua kwanza

    • New evidence showed pool damage came from flawed contractor installation, not Hearn.
    • The Reflecting Pool was drained by July 22, 2026.
    • Dismissal requires court approval and was still pending in the reporting.

    Ambacho hakikuwa wazi wakati huo

    • The name of the contractor and whether flawed work will bring any penalty.
    • What investigation led prosecutors to charge Hearn before the installation evidence emerged.

    Tulichosema tungefuatilia

    • Whether a judge grants dismissal and what the final order says.
    • Whether rushed America 250 work on the Mall faces review beyond this one case.
