Jeanine Pirro Appointed as Interim U.S. Attorney

Donald Trump announced that Jeanine Pirro, a co-host of 'The Five' on Fox News and former Westchester County assistant district attorney, will serve as interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. Trump's earlier choice, Ed Martin, did not receive sufficient Senate support for the role.

In a significant appointment, U.S. President Donald Trump has named Jeanine Pirro as the interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. Pirro, currently co-hosting 'The Five' on Fox News, previously served as Westchester County's assistant district attorney.

This decision follows Trump's initial pick, Ed Martin, failing to secure enough support in the Senate to proceed in the role.

Pirro's new position reflects the Trump administration's ongoing efforts to appoint leaders aligned with its policies in key federal positions.
