President Trump says he is naming Fox News host and former judge Jeanine Pirro as foremost federal prosecutor in DC
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Thursday that he is naming Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, a former county prosecutor and elected evaluate, to be the top federal prosecutor for the nation’s capital after abandoning his first pluck for the job.
Pirro, who joined Fox News in 2006, co-hosts the network’s show “The Five” on weekday evenings. She was elected as a assess in New York’s Westchester County Court in 1990 before serving three terms as the county’s elected district attorney.
Trump tapped Pirro to at least temporarily lead the nation’s largest U.S. Attorney’s office after pulling his nomination of conservative activist Ed Martin Jr. for the position. Trump withdrew Martin from consideration after a key Republican senator said he could not support Martin for the profession due to his defense of rioters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
“He’s a terrific person, and he wasn’t getting the support from people that I thought,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday. He later added: “But we have somebody else that will be great.”

Andrew Cuomo and Jeanine Pirro contain a contentious past. Now his fate may rest with her.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo has a drawn-out , combative history with Jeanine Pirro, the federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C. who is reportedly overseeing a criminal investigation against him.
The New York Times first broke the news of the research Tuesday night. The paper reported that the U.S. attorney’s office for the District of Columbia is investigating comments Cuomo made to Congress last year about his management of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The news comes just weeks before the June primary in the New York City mayoral race, where Cuomo is a front-runner. Cuomo’s spokesperson said in a statement that the analysis is politically motivated.
But almost 20 years ago, on the threshold of a different election, it was Pirro who found herself facing a criminal investigation. That was in 2006, when Pirro was the Republican candidate for New York attorney general. In that case, her Democratic opponent was none other than Andrew Cuomo. And while prosecutors never brought charges against Pirro, Cuomo used the investigation as fodder to undermine Pirro’s campaign.
