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

Posted on 05/08/2025 2:04:20 PM PDT by chrisinoc

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.

Laura is great but she hasn’t practiced law in a long time.

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

+++++++++

Tillis is as much of a republican as the new pope.

Ingraham! No! 100% Bushbot. Total bitch. Before she hit it big on TV I’d listen to her radio show when getting ready for work. The way she treated her staff was horrid and borderline verbally abusive.

You can tell a lot about people’s character by the way they treat “the help” / staff.

I’ve always loved her ever since she took Miss America’s husband, but isn’t she like 75 years old?
That’s kind of old for a USA

I worked on a few cases with Jeanine when she was a D.A. in Westchester County. You couldn’t ask for a better District Attorney. I was honored to have her come by my retirement dinner in 2000.

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


Check with Blondi on her next Fox appearance. So that would be in a day or two.

Another Trump trolling the media buzz going

ABC grabbed the bait and ran with it

Hope you realize that Trump is the one that wants her out there

Media strategy by sending his top officials out instead of some spokesman

I thought FREEPORT were smarter than this. Guess not

The conservative legal talent pool must be pretty shallow these days.

Who you callin’ old, Willis? LOL

She’s more than up to it. She took over Jimmy Falla’s taxicab on his own show and terrified him while ripping around New Yawk (providing good comedy to that hour for a change).

If she wants let her at them.
