President Donald Trump has tapped "The Five" co-host Judge Jeanine Pirro to be the interim U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C.
"I am pleased to announce that Judge Jeanine Pirro will be appointed interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia," Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social on Thursday. "Jeanine is incredibly well qualified for this position, and is considered one of the Top District Attorneys in the History of the State of New York. She is in a class by herself. Congratulations Jeanine!"
Pirro has left Fox News Channel and a rotation of Fox News personalities will fill her seat on "The Five" until a new co-host is named.
"Jeanine Pirro has been a wonderful addition to The Five over the last three years and a longtime beloved host across FOX News Media who contributed greatly to our success throughout her 14-year tenure. We wish her all the best in her new role in Washington," a spokesperson for FOX News Media said in a statement.
Pirro served as the assistant district attorney and district attorney in New York's Westchester County and became the first woman to service as a judge in Westchester County Court.
She joined Fox News Channel in 2006 and hosted "Justice with Judge Jeanine" for 11 years before joining "The Five," which has emerged as the most-watched show on cable news.
Trump also announced on Truth Social that Ed Martin, who was the previous interim U.S. attorney in D.C., will be moving to the Department of Justice as its "Director of the Weaponization Working Group, Associate Deputy Attorney General, and Pardon Attorney."
"In these highly important roles, Ed will make sure we finally investigate the Weaponization of our Government under the Biden Regime, and provide much needed Justice for its victims. Congratulations Ed!"

Nice!
Too bad Jeanine Pirro wasn’t the US AG instead of Blondie. Pirro is a pitbull and Blondie is like Pambi.
Boy, that is a huge step down for Judge Janine in terms of salary. Jeanine Pirro was earning $3 million per year at Fox News, according to multiple sources, including Celebrity Net Worth and Fox News salary reports.
She’ll probably be making much less than $200,000 as US Attorney in DC.
If I Were King....!?!
.
President Trump is Doing A Fine Job.
EXCELLENT!!!
Tillis is now crapping in his britches, we NOW have pit bull investigating the weaponization of FBI, CIA, NSA ect. AND as a HUGE BONUS a pit bull as US attorney to DC!!! Hey Tillis FAFO!!!! LMAO!!!!
Shows you what kind of person she is: principled and loyal to Trump and MAGA!
Her speaking fees will more than make up for it.
This kind of thing is what I voted for!
Easy for you to say. Wait till she hits the DC swamp.
Tillis at some point will either need immunity or be prosecuted for his alleged role in the J6 setup. I think he felt he was on the wining side and helped jail people somehow.
The Man, Trump, is a genius.
I just KNEW HE WOULD GIVE ED A ...GREAT COUPLE OF JOBS...
Some days I love DJT more than others.
And I like Martin a LOT for coming forward to help al those J5ers who needed help...when no one else would.
Race car driver. Sweet judge pirro is awesome. Going to miss her on the 5. In your face Harold!
EVERYONE with half a brain knows J6 was a total setup, MAGA has NEVER EVER behaved in this manor, HUNDREDS of rallies with THOUSANDS at each rally NEVER an ounce of trouble NEVER!! These bastards have let the mantra of police being killed go on for years and NEVER opened their stinking mouths on what a balled faced LIE it was!! Our side let these bastards take over the narrative and NEVER defended MAGA!! I PRAY with my whole heart and souls that in 2026 MAGA shows up in droves and votes for EVERY stinking primary contender on our side I am DONE with the whole damn lot of them!!! I have been watching this same BS for decades now ENOUGH!!!
Just what I was hoping Trump would do. Up the splodey head quotient.
“You don’t like Ed Martin? Here’s Jeanine Pirro!”
IF the RINOs block her nomination, she will rip them on TV from now until their next elections. Let them vote against her and see what happens to them.
