Her history as a prosecutor and Fox News personality brings a no-nonsense attitude that promises to halt the leniency of yesteryears.
On May 28, 2025, Jeanine Pirro took the oath of office as the interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.
The ceremony was held in the Oval Office, with U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi administering the oath and President Donald Trump in attendance.
Pirro steps into the role following Ed Martin’s resignation, amid controversy due to his defense of January 6 rioters.
President Trump praised Pirro’s commitment to justice, describing her as a “tireless warrior” for the vulnerable.
He appointed her with the expectation of restoring public safety in D.C., a task the President deemed one of the most crucial positions in the country.
Pirro expressed her zero-tolerance stance on crime, vowing to return Washington, D.C. back to its rightful state of order and safety.
Pirro’s background as a prosecutor and judge, having served in New York as the Westchester County District Attorney, provides her with a strong foundation for her new role.
In her illustrious career, she also transitioned into television, hosting Fox’s “The Five” and her own show “Justice with Judge Jeanine.”
The move from television back to the courtroom underscores Pirro’s commitment to justice, despite several challenges faced in her political career.
Her run against Hillary Clinton for the Senate and involvement in a scandal tied to her ex-husband are well-documented.
Yet, her dedication to making Washington a safer place remains unwavering.
“Jeanine Pirro, I have no doubt will be an exceptional U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, one of the truly most important positions in our country of any position, where she will restore public safety in our nation’s capital, break up vicious street gangs and criminal networks, and ensure equal justice under the law. You’ll see very, very big improvements in the D.C. area, that I can promise you,” President Donald Trump said.
In addition to her no-mercy policy for criminals, Pirro has addressed recent violence, including a deadly shooting impacting Israeli Embassy staffers.
Emphasizing zero tolerance for hatred and crime, she pledged to tackle the criminal networks plaguing the city.
Trump’s executive order, “Making the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful,” aligns with her mission, despite facing criticisms of micromanagement.
