U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro snapped at a reporter asking about Jan. 6 attacks on the Capitol during a press conference Thursday announcing a federal indictment against a three-time Olympic athlete who was arrested last month after allegedly touching the detached paint of the $14 million renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
David Hearn, who was indicted by a grand jury after his arrest, now faces up to 10 years in prison, Pirro said.
Pirro made the announcement and started taking questions from press when a reporter tried to raise the question.

Pirro interjected and yelled back.
"Are you really talking about January 6? I'm not. Who's next? Not you! No!"
