Trump eying Fox News host Jeanine Pirro for top prosecutor in DC
ABC News ^ | May 8, 2025 | Katherine Faulders and Will Steakin

President Donald Trump is strongly considering installing Fox News host and former prosecutor Jeanine Pirro as interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.

The potential selection comes as Trump told reporters in the Oval Office Thursday that Ed Martin, who is currently serving as D.C.'s interim top prosecutor, would not be taking the position permanently after losing support among top Republicans in the Senate.

An announcement about a new interim U.S. attorney could come as soon as Thursday, sources said. Sources caution that plans could always change and a decision is never final until publicly announced by the president.

The Judge is not on The Five today, so this might be true.

She will kick *ss...er...Democratz (same thing) and take names. I hope that she gets it...but considering that there appears to be one testicle shared by all Repulsicans in our joke of a senate - we cannot get our hopes up.

Pirro could have been an excellent AG.

Looks like Thom Tillis has successfully torpedoed Ed Martin’s appointment. The GOP continues to be infested with worms.

I curious to know if the judge would accept the offer. It would be great, I’m just not sure how much gas the girl has left in the tank. As Eastwood said “Go ahead make my day”.

Wonder if the admin was worried about the PR risk of having too many Fox News personalities on board.

Apparently there is a critique and worry that AG Bondi is becoming one by default? I don’t watch TV so wouldn’t know. But I like Bondi a lot too. 💞👩‍⚖️

Next month will be 74 yo. Maybe 20 years since being a prosecutor. Is this a troll?

I’m hoping Pam Bondie appoints Ed as special prosecutor to investigate J6
