**Washington, D.C.** \u2014 Jeanine Pirro, former judge and television host, has been appointed as the interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. The announcement was made by former President Donald Trump, who praised Pirro for her extensive legal experience and past accomplishments. Pirro, known for her role as a co-host on *The Five* on Fox News, is a former judge and district attorney in Westchester County, New York. Trump described her as \u201cincredibly well qualified\u201d and \u201cin a class by herself.\u201d Fox News acknowledged Pirro\u2019s departure, thanking her for her 14 years of contributions. Her appointment follows the delay of Ed Martin\u2019s confirmation, with Republican Senator Thom Tillis opposing Martin\u2019s views on the January 6 events. The lack of support led to Martin\u2019s nomination being halted, clearing the way for Pirro\u2019s surprise appointment. The U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C., is a highly visible role, overseeing cases involving federal crimes and public corruption. While Pirro\u2019s legal background is strong, her media career has raised concerns among some critics about how her decisions may be perceived in such a politically sensitive environment. Supporters, however, argue that her law enforcement experience makes her well-suited for the role. Pirro\u2019s position is interim and does not require Senate confirmation, but a permanent appointment would still need to go through the formal process. Her entry into the role marks a new chapter in her career, and both legal and media observers will be watching her closely<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
