In big news from the nation’s capital, former Fox News Channel host Judge Jeanine Pirro has been sworn in as the interim US Attorney for Washington, D.C., replacing outgoing interim head Ed Martin, whose nomination to take the post in a permanent capacity was deep sixed by a collection of notorious RINOs in the Senate.
Former Judge Pirro was sworn in as the interim US Attorney on Thursday, May 15. 73 years old, she will lead a team of attorneys working for the Trump DOJ to both defend the Trump Administration in court and prosecute crimes committed in the American capital, making it a big role for her as she can both work to ensure Trump’s agenda advances and the many wrongdoers in the Swamp start to face justice.
Director of the Presidential Personnel Office Sergio Gor chimed in on X (formerly Twitter) shortly after Judge Jeanine was sworn into the position and expressed his hope that she would help advance the MAGA banner, saying, “Congratulations @JudgeJeanine who will soon make DC Great Again!”
For reference, when Trump announced he would be appointing Pirro to the position, he said, “I am pleased to announce that Judge Jeanine Pirro will be appointed interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia. Jeanine was Assistant District Attorney for Westchester County, New York, and then went on to serve as County Judge, and District Attorney, where she was the first woman ever to be elected to those positions.”
Further, he commented on her credentials for the position and successful career, saying, “During her time in office, Jeanine was a powerful crusader for victims of crime. Her establishment of the Domestic Violence Bureau in her Prosecutor’s Office was the first in the Nation. She excelled in all ways. In addition to her Legal career, Jeanine previously hosted her own Fox News Show, Justice with Judge Jeanine, for ten years, and is currently Co-Host of The Five, one of the Highest Rated Shows on Television. Jeanine is incredibly well qualified for this position, and is considered one of the Top District Attorneys in the History of the State of New York. She is in a class by herself. Congratulations Jeanine!”
MAGA supporters loved the move. James Woods, for example, the actor and Trump supporter known for his viral takes on X, said, “This made me whoop with joy. After a RINO traitor blocked an appointee who would have been great, our President appoints a real killer. Judge Jeanine is going to clean up the mess in DC like a wood chipper on steroids!”
Another poster noted that Judge Jeanine will be taking a massive pay cut to serve in this position, writing, “In 2024, Judge Jeanine Pirros salary was $5 MILLION dollars. As head of the DC US Attorney’s office she will make $195K. Jeanine isn’t in it for the money or fame. She already had both. She’s in it for the love of country. Jeanine Pirro is a true patriot.”
