Trump Appoints Fox News Host Judge Jeanine Pirro as Interim US Attorney in DC

President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he has chosen longtime Fox New 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 in a statement on Truth Social. “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!”
The conservative firebrand previously served as the assistant district attorney and district attorney in New York’s Westchester County and as a judge in Westchester County Court. The president noted that she was the first woman to be elected as a district attorney and a judge in the county.
Pirro has now exited the Fox News Channel, where she had worked since 2006, hosting “Justice with Judge Jeanine” for 11 years before joining “The Five,” the most-watched show on cable news.
Trump also announced that his previous interim U.S. attorney in D.C., Ed Martin, will move to the Department of Justice as its “Director of the Weaponization Working Group, Associate Deputy Attorney General, and Pardon Attorney.”
Martin is a political activist, attorney and politician from Missouri who helped organize the Stop the Steal rallies, and served as an attorney and advocate for January 6th defendants.
Trump said Martin did “an AMAZING job as interim U.S. Attorney” but the president was forced to pull his nomination when resistance from key Republican senators— most notably Sen. Thom Tillis (R=N.C.)—signaled he did not have the votes to be confirmed.
“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!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. By Debra Heine – Right & Free)
