Jeanine Pirro Appointed as Interim U.S. Attorney

In a significant appointment, U.S. President Donald Trump has named Jeanine Pirro as the interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. Pirro, currently co-hosting 'The Five' on Fox News, previously served as Westchester County's assistant district attorney.

This decision follows Trump's initial pick, Ed Martin, failing to secure enough support in the Senate to proceed in the role.

Pirro's new position reflects the Trump administration's ongoing efforts to appoint leaders aligned with its policies in key federal positions.
