REPORT: Here is Trump’s Possible Choice For Interim US Attorney for DC… DEVELOPING |

In a notable shift within his administration, President Trump is reportedly weighing the appointment of Judge Jeanine Pirro as the interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, following his withdrawal of Ed Martin’s nomination.

ABC News has indicated that Trump could unveil this decision as soon as Thursday afternoon or evening, providing a timely update in a rapidly changing political landscape.

According to ABC News,

President Donald Trump is seriously contemplating the appointment of Fox News personality and former prosecutor Jeanine Pirro as the interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, sources familiar with the situation informed ABC News.

This potential appointment emerges after Trump announced in the Oval Office on Thursday that Ed Martin, currently serving as D.C.’s interim top prosecutor, would not be taking on the role permanently due to dwindling support among key Republican senators.

Sources indicate that an announcement regarding the new interim U.S. attorney could be forthcoming as soon as Thursday, though they warn that plans are fluid and nothing is finalized until officially declared by the president.

Earlier in the day, Trump confirmed the withdrawal of Ed Martin’s nomination for the position of D.C. U.S. Attorney, indicating that a replacement would be revealed shortly.

With the May 20 deadline for confirming Martin approaching, the urgency for a decision has intensified.

If Martin had not secured confirmation, Judge Boasberg would have been tasked with appointing the next U.S. Attorney for D.C.

Expressing disappointment over the lack of support for Martin, Trump remarked, “He’s a terrific person. He wasn’t getting the support from people that I thought. He’s done a very good job. Crime is down 25% in D.C.”

Trump added, “We have somebody else that will be great. I just want to say, Ed is unbelievable. Hopefully we can bring him into, whether it’s DOJ or whatever in some capacity.”
