Judge Jeanine Pirro Appointed Interim U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C.
Former judge and TV host Jeanine Pirro has been appointed as the interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. The announcement came on May 8, 2025, from former President Donald Trump, who praised Pirro’s legal experience and public presence.
Pirro replaces Ed Martin, whose nomination ran into resistance in the Senate. With this move, Trump places another close ally in a key legal position as he continues to reshape institutions in line with his political vision.
