President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he is appointing Fox News star Jeanine Pirro, a former prosecutor and elected judge, to be the interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia — calling her a “powerful crusader.”
Pirro previously served as the district attorney of Westchester County, New York, from 1994 to 2005, and before that, she was a judge on the Westchester County Court from 1991 to 1993. Since joining Fox News in 2006, Pirro has cohosted the network’s weeknight program “The Five.”
After her legal career, she became a television personality and is now currently known for being a recognizable face on Fox News. On the network, Pirro has an outspoken, passionate, and assertive personality. She often delivers fiery monologues and strong (but fair) opinions, particularly on political and legal issues. Pirro’s style is characterized by a no-nonsense, confrontational approach.
After withdrawing his candidacy of Ed Martin Jr. for the role on Thursday, Trump appointed Pirro to, at least, temporarily head the largest U.S. Attorney’s office in the country.
Although Trump did not specify whether he would nominate Pirro for the Senate-confirmed position on a more permanent basis, he announced in a post on Truth Social that he was appointing her as the acting U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C.
“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,” Trump wrote.
After a prominent Republican senator, Thom Tillis (R-NC), stated that he would not endorse Martin for the position due to his backing of the protesters who came to the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, Trump pulled Martin from consideration.

hope she gets some serious work done. Lots to do and time’s a ticking.
Send the message to the RINOs...submarine a nomination for truly no valid reason and not only will you suffer politically, an even more MAGA person will be nominated.
This must have been under discussion for at very least, a week or more. Pirro needed time to consider leaving a solid position on a strong network. At her age, she might not be receiving many other choices like this ever again.
Apparently, nobody leaked the info that she was under consideration. It’s good to know this administration can keep some things quiet when they want to.
“Apparently, nobody leaked the info that she was under consideration”
Yes, that seems correct.
Wow!
Pirro is an arse-kicker!
Agree with your analysis.
Maybe she can do something about NY justice & get Leticia James whisked off to jail.

If she’s nominate for confirmation, will Tillis ask her how she feels about the J6 protesters?
