In a move that sent political shockwaves through Washington, Donald Trump has named former Fox News pitbull Jeanine Pirro as the interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia—yes, that Jeanine Pirro, the razor-tongued legal firebrand who once ruled cable news with her courtroom fury and MAGA loyalty.
The announcement came just hours after Trump pulled the plug on his controversial pick, Ed Martin Jr., a right-wing activist who faced massive heat from Senate Republicans over his defense of January 6th rioters and his complete lack of courtroom chops.
Trump didn’t hold back, calling Pirro “a one-woman wrecking crew” and “a real prosecutor who knows how to win.” And win she did—three terms as Westchester County DA and a lifetime of on-air takedowns that made her a cult hero in MAGA circles.
But let’s be honest, folks—this isn’t just about law and order. This is about revenge, loyalty, and power. And Trump? He’s putting his fiercest foot forward.
If you thought Pirro was done after Fox sidelined her, think again. She may have traded the panel table of The Five for a prosecutor’s office, but make no mistake—she’s bringing the same heat to the Justice Department.
Let’s not forget, Pirro’s no stranger to legal high-wire acts. She’s tangled with the Clintons, sparred with George Soros, and even took swings at her own network when they tried to muzzle her. Oh—and she’s still a defendant in billion-dollar defamation lawsuits filed by Dominion and Smartmatic over Fox’s 2020 election coverage.
So yeah, this appointment is pure Trump theater—loud, brash, and 100% on brand.
The D.C. Attorney’s office is one of the most powerful in the country, handling everything from high-profile corruption cases to federal prosecutions in the shadow of the Capitol. And now it’s in the hands of a woman known for shouting “shame!” at Democrats on live TV.
Critics? They’re fuming. Legal scholars are questioning the ethics. Twitter (sorry, X) is on fire. But supporters say it’s about time someone “cleaned house” and “stood up to the swamp.” And let’s face it—Trump loves a fighter.
The big question now? Will Pirro be nominated for the permanent role? Trump’s staying coy, but if the past tells us anything, this won’t be her last headline.
