President Donald Trump has appointed former Fox News host and New York prosecutor Jeanine Pirro the interim US attorney for Washington, DC.
Taking to Truth Social, the POTUS wrote, “I am pleased to announce that Judge Jeanine Pirro will be appointed interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia,” dubbing her a “powerful crusader for victims of crime.”
“She excelled in all ways,” Trump went on, praising her career as a TV host. “In addition to her Legal career, Jeanine previously hosted her own Fox News Show, Justice with Judge Jeanine, for ten years, and is currently Co-Host of The Five, one of the Highest Rated Shows on Television,” the president added.
Fox News also praised Pirro’s work. A spokesperson for FOX News Media said in a statement, “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.”
On the same day she was sworn into office, Jeanine Pirro announced the sentencing of two individuals involved in a dangerous daylight drive-by shooting near an elementary school in Washington, DC.
The two men, Rasheed Mullins, 27, and Josiah Warfield, 24, received federal prison sentences of over seven years. They both pleaded guilty to assault with intent to murder while armed.
The incident took place in April 2024 and caught the attention of the public because it happened near a school.
Pirro’s office made an announcement of another indictment on Thursday, confirming that Te’Vaughn Brown, 20, was charged with felony assault on a senior citizen before a Nationals baseball game last August, with the trial set for July 14.
