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!"

Yup
Not everything is about money. Many people do things based on patriotism.
I hope this is a stepping stone to replace Bondi. Watching her speak is painful with all the phoney, breathless melodrama.
“...at each rally NEVER an ounce of trouble NEVER!!
The question about January 6 that is never answered is, Who benefited? The challenge to states’ electors was pretty much forgotten, the dems got a second impeachment of Trump, two years congressional hearings against Trump, hundreds of Trump supporters imprisoned, two states declaring Trump an ‘insurrectionist’ and thus ineligible to be on the 2024 ballot. The dems benefited hugely.
Not gonna disagree with you and at 73, she’s a smokin’ hot $3 pistol
The Dems created this issue from whole cloth, as they did with Russiagate and others. The Dems NEVER hesitate to use lies and deceit and corruption to win elections. They are truly evil.
Harold is almost always reasonable; in your face Jessica, is more like it.
No one is happier than Jessica Tarlov.
She’ll probably be making much less than $200,000 as US Attorney in DC.
If she's been careful with her $3 mil a year over a few years, she won't even need that salary.
Good point, its tough not to like Harold - Jessica yeah she easier to dislike
