CNN — President Donald Trump announced Thursday he’s appointing Fox News host and former prosecutor Jeanine Pirro the interim US attorney for Washington, DC, after his first pick faced what appeared to be insurmountable pushback from Republicans on Capitol Hill.

“I am pleased to announce that Judge Jeanine Pirro will be appointed interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, touting her as the first woman elected to several previous positions and calling her a “powerful crusader for victims of crime.”

“She excelled in all ways,” Trump went on, praising her television career. “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.”

Pirro, whom CNN reported earlier had been under consideration for the role, did not appear Thursday on Fox News’ “The Five.” ABC News first reported that Trump is eying Pirro for the position. CNN has reached out to Pirro.

Trump considering naming Jeanine Pirro as the acting US attorney for DC

Updated 4:21 PM EDT, Thu May 8, 2025


CNN — President Donald Trump is considering naming Fox News host and former prosecutor Jeanine Pirro as the acting US attorney for Washington, DC, two sources familiar with the matter confirmed to CNN.

Pirro, the sources said, is not the only person under consideration, and it is possible Trump could choose another candidate.

The White House did not respond to a request for comment. ABC was first to report that Trump is eying Pirro.

Trump said earlier Thursday he will soon announce a new person to replace Ed Martin, whose nomination had been imperiled in recent days amid what appeared to be insurmountable pushback from Republicans on Capitol Hill.

1. For claiming to be a tea totaler himself

he sure has a lot of boozers and rummies on his staff.

[Nigrum Cattus]

19. His mother was a drunk

24. That's understandable...

She had to live with her husband and her son.

[KPN]

43. Right?!

[ShazzieB]

45. This is the first I've heard of that!

I've read several books about Trump and the Trump family, including the ones by Mary Trump and her brother, and don't recall any mention of anyone in the family having a problem with alcohol except Trump's older brother Freddie (who old Fred basically drove to drink).

[Marie Marie]

5. as always, the candidate looks good to him on cable TV

[mdbl]

17. I take issue with the fact she looks good

But she is an asswipe right up his ass where he likes it.

[sop]

6. Trump's picks are just a thumb in the eye to America, his only selection criteria is who will create chaos and do harm.

[Scarlet Begalas]

34. Trump's picks are just a thumb in the eye to...

Considering all the downright nasty and mean-spirited comments I see from MAGAt on Facebook, I agree. And Trump is being just like them. He's doing sh*t like this to "own the libs," because he knows his idiot supporters just love that sh*t.

He is a truly despicable person.

[eggplant]

7. Sure, why not. The clown car still has room.

[RoadRunner]

8. Good Lord!

The Pillow Guy would be better.

[mwb970]

Sheesh.

[BadGimp]

11. Too many folks in MAGAland think this is completely logical...

[underpants]

31. It is.

[Balatro]

12. Why stop there?

Surely there are more former game show hosts and reality TV wash-ups?

[underpants]

30. Pat Sajak is available 🤪

[taxi]

13. May I suggest

she connects with Lauren Boebert for tips on how to set up a proper 'make up studio' in her office? Maybe gin up about $40,000 for it, like Hegseth did?

[BidenRocks]

25. Gin up?!

[Marcuse]

14. Rudy needs a job.....and a license.

[sheshe2]

15. Oh, goody.

[angrychair]

16. I'm in a very bad timeline

And I need to know how to get back to the real one.

[COL Mustard]

26. Don't take the red pill!!!!

And for God's sake, don't cut the black wire!!!

[NBachers]

39. And don't take the brown acid

[underpants]

29. No kidding

[BumRushDaShow]

18. And it is official

[underpants]

28. HOLY FS!!! I just saw this and was going to post it.

She hasn’t been a DA for 20 years. Since then she’s repeated embarrassed herself ON TV. This is just bizarro land.

[Donman]

20. Goofy to be AG

What's next? Will Trump steal Goofy from Walt Disney Enterprises to replace Pam Bondi? Io

[Montauk6]

22. I always suspected Goofy of being MAGA

The way he exploits his cousin Pluto.

[Montauk6]

21. Does this mean no tariffs on box wine?

[underpants]

27. Hey!

That’s not…. Yes it is

[COL Mustard]

23. What's the over-under....

On when she shows up drunk for her first appearance in court? The jokes just write themselves!

[hamsterjill]

32. Damn!!! At the rate he's going, there's not going to be any one left to comment on Faux News!!!

Can Ainsley Earhard be far behind???!!!!

[orleans]

33. ah yes, in another "kill me now" moment...

[Initech]

36. Frank Zappa was a prophet!

[orleans]

44. through the years i have often wondered what he would have to say about the shit going on in our country and

government

i have missed hearing his voice/insight/opinions

[Initech]

35. It's nepotism for cable news hosts.

This country would be so much better off if that piece of shit network didn't exist.

[Efilroft Sul]

37. When order in the court is called, Pirro responds, "I'll have a cucumber martini with Hendricks Gin."

[joanbarnes]

38. And nominated Hannibal Lector for surgeon general.

[sinkingfeeling]

40. Isn't it great that experienced pros have all been replaced by Faux News air-heads?

A government of 3rd. rate TV hosts.

[Marcuse]

41. But can she pass the bar?

[Drum]

42. Haha she'd never just pass a bar

[fujiyamasan]

46. You win the thread

Stop the world. I want to get off.

[BumRushDaShow]

47. DUzy!

[Oopsie Daisy]

48. He really has an affinity for alcoholics, doesn't he?

[travelingthrulife]

56. Mob boss. He has to have something to hold over their heads, some way to threaten them into obedience

if they ever even think of telling the truth.

[perdita9]

49. Great, just what we need , another drunk

As if Whiskey Pete wasn't doing enough damage

[LisaM]

50. Remember when Obama took flak for wanting Sanjay Gupta for Surgeon General

I was among those who didn't lile the idea of having a celebrity pick, though Sanjay Gupta was certainly a pretty qualified choice overall. And the objections to him based on his television fame seem almost quaint now.

[Onthefly]

51. His inner circle are Faux and "fiends." In his mind, they like him.

He thinks: I chose people I see on TV. He is ill.

[Botany]

54. Well Pirro can now join Sec. of Transportation Duffy and Sec. of Defense Hog's Breath in dumpster fires

Fox person #1 Duffy got things going into the dumpster fire project by firing Air Traffic Controllers
and after 16 years of zero mid air collisions we got one right from the jump and a bunch of other
shit has gone wrong as per the FAA which is under Duffy. However the FAA’s homepage is now all
about safety. Btw they tried to blame the mid air collision on a black woman or a trans person.

Fox Person # 2 is responsible for one the worst breaches in National security in our history
to the point that last week 2 Russian spies were arrested in Germany with all of Hog’s Breath
information from his phone on their phones. Hog’s Breath also told Ukraine’s Zelenskyy that
he should surrender about 25 to 30% of its lands and people to Vlad Putin. Dumpster fire again.

Fox News =

[augyboston]

52. We'd be better off if tRump would start to select people from the Comedy Channel

Government of Faux News, by Faux News and for Faux News.

All that qualifies in tRump's 12 year old mind is if they've been on TV and show fealty to him.

1351 days, 17 hours and 21 minutes left. Not sure we can make it!

[Ray Bruns]

53. Judge Pirro arrives at work

[Kid Berwyn]

55. An inmate is running the prison.

And it’s a psychiatric institution.

[bdamomma]

57. Fox noise

are the felon's loyalists. This is sickening, no experience or should I say a kakistocracy is more like it.

[moniss]

58. I think it's a tossup whether she is

mean and nasty because of a hangover or whether she gets that way 3 sheets to the wind.

[Owens]

60. Another DUI hire!

[PortTack]

61. Could ya get anybody worse?? My gawd!

[ificandream]

65. Well, he could have nominated Hannity or Ingraham.

There's still time, though ...

[AKwannabe]

62. What the actual??

Fucking fuck!
Omg this is

[Godot51]

63. Our fox news government...

... ignorance, insolence, and lies.

[Hassler]

64. Everyday will be Take Your Box Wine to Work Day
