 Pirro meets with Trump at White House amid questions about her future

U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro met with President Donald Trump at the White House Monday afternoon amid questions about her future, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News. 

The meeting came after Trump said Pirro "choked" and "folded like an umbrella" in dropping charges last week against those charged with damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. 

When asked about the meeting, a White House official would not comment on it but referred ABC News to Trump's comments earlier in the Oval Office in which he was critical of her decision.
