Senate confirms former Fox News host Pirro as top federal prosecutor for the nation’s capital
The Senate has confirmed Jeanine Pirro, a former Fox News host and Trump loyalist, as the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. The vote, held on Saturday, was along party lines, with a 50-45 margin. Pirro was previously serving as the interim U.S. attorney since May, following the withdrawal of President Donald Trump's first choice, Ed Martin, due to controversial statements regarding the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot [1][2].Pirro, who has extensive courtroom experience, was elected as a judge in New York’s Westchester County Court in 1990 and served as the county’s elected district attorney for three terms. She co-hosted the Fox News show "The Five" and has been a prominent ally of Trump, frequently pushing conspiracy theories about the 2020 election [3].
The confirmation of Pirro continues a trend of Trump rewarding supportive Fox News hosts with high-profile appointments. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy are among the former Fox News personnel who have worked in Trump's administration [3].
