Trump Praises TV Success of Confirmed D.C. Prosecutor Jeanine Pirro Ahead of Swearing-In

President Donald Trump highlighted the entertainment achievements of Jeanine Pirro, a former Fox News host he plans to swear in as the U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C. The Senate confirmed Pirro by a 50-45 party-line vote, and Trump expressed enthusiasm about her upcoming appointment, praising her past roles as a judge and prosecutor. He recalled her transition from a distinguished legal career to television entertainment, describing her as a successful figure in the media industry. Pirro has previously served as a judge and district attorney in Westchester County, New York, and hosted a justice-focused weekend program on Fox News since 2011. Despite being involved in a defamation lawsuit related to her commentary on the 2020 election, she remained a prominent media personality, co-hosting "The Five" before Fox settled the case. Trump emphasized her proven track record and expressed confidence in her future role, stating he was eager to swear her in soon.
