Published | Updated
President Trump is making headlines once again by appointing Fox News host Jeanine Pirro as the interim U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C. This move comes as a surprise to many, but Trump has expressed his confidence in Pirro’s abilities to handle the role effectively.
In a recent post on Truth Social, President Trump announced that Jeanine Pirro will be taking over the position from Ed Martin, who is set to transition to the Justice Department. Pirro, known for her hosting duties on Fox News, brings a wealth of experience to the role, having previously served as a county judge in New York and a district attorney.
Trump praised Pirro’s track record in advocating for victims of crime, highlighting her establishment of the Domestic Violence Bureau in her Prosecutor’s Office as a groundbreaking initiative. He lauded her as one of the top district attorneys in the history of New York, emphasizing her qualifications for the position.
According to Trump, “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!”
A spokesperson for FOX News Media also expressed support for Pirro’s new role, stating, “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.”
President Trump’s decision to nominate a former Fox News contributor, Pete Hegseth, as his Secretary of Defense further solidifies the administration’s ties to the media outlet. Pirro’s appointment underscores the close relationship between the Trump administration and Fox News.
As an outspoken supporter of President Trump since the beginning of his political career, Jeanine Pirro’s new government appointment marks a significant milestone in her career. Her dedication to advocating for justice and victims’ rights has earned her recognition and praise from the highest levels of government.
