President Donald Trump says he will appoint Fox News host and former prosecutor Jeanine Pirro as interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia.
Trump announced the pick in a post on Truth Social.
The selection comes as Trump told reporters in the Oval Office Thursday that Ed Martin, who is currently serving as D.C.'s interim top prosecutor, would not be taking the position permanently after losing support among top Republicans in the Senate.

By rejecting Ed Martin, we now have proof there are GOP senators who are compromised - and may be on the DOJ's radar for various crimes committed. Don't be surprised if Pirro doesn't get confirmed either. Both party's want one of their DC insiders in that position. Trump must not bow down.

Poster #4, better 'stealing' from Fox employees than current Senators and Congressmen.

A genius move: She is brutal on crime and far smarter than most Judges. She’s been around the block and knows all the tricks. She will be great.

Congratulations to Judge Jannine but we will miss you so much on The Five! You have made that program tops with your excellent remarks that are always directed towards law and order in our nation. It will be tough to replace you and also to keep Jessica in line.

I bet she'll be a great resource to find more conservative judges to fill other roles and judgeships.

Thom Tillis will screw this one up as well. I never liked that guy. I sent him an email and told him that he’ll be running for re-election someday and I will let everyone know how crooked he is. https:x.com/JG CSTT/status/1920197778187431938 I hope that is correct. If not go to Crowdsource The Truth on X and see for yourself

If/when she has her confirmation hearings; I can't wait to hear Pirro's responses to Democrat (and RINOS) ridiculous questions.

Oh this is delicious....Jeanne Pirro is fabulous ...she served on the bench for years...and has been a joy to watch on Fox...not that I spend much time there...as for the republican senators who are waiting to interview her and cast doubt on any nominee President Trump puts up for the job...I agree with poster #1...the rino crowd is composed of many senators who are terrified of the truth coming out as to their buy outs from corporate globalists....

There's been a lot of joking about Fox people moving into the Trump organization but let's face it, Fox has some of the best and smartest talent in the business, with the exception of some who simply love to hear themselves talk about themselves.

Yeah, the Rinos are going to make approval of Jeanine Pirro difficult alright. After all many of them are absolutely horrified they could finally be exposed for what they truly are. . .Democrats in Republican clothing.
It's not to say ALL Republicans are as pure as the new driven snow, but who else but Democrats excel in debauchery, corruption, and hate, and then promote those who pass muster? Rinos of course!

Gee, thought some Obama appointed judge was supposed to make the selection and they were going to appoint Jack Smith. It's a power struggle being fought in the courts and media. Guess that is better than bloodshed in the streets.

#4, #15: You should get used to Fox employees leaving the channel for greener pastures. Most of these people have little to nothing in common with the RINO Paul Ryan, who now runs the ship at Fox and whose last job seemed to be to take orders from Nancy Pelosi while he was Speaker.
Fox's news reporters are still good, but after what happened to Tucker Carlson, their talking heads and news analysis people must all know that their heads might be served on platters to the left with little to no notice. It would be wise for all of them -- and yes that includes Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham -- to identify greener pastures of their own and migrate there.

We have loved Jeanine Pirro for years, smart as a whip. She's the best lawyer we've heard at Fox. Wonder who is going to keep Jessica in line now.

Five o'clock EST is our "The Five Hour". Cell phones off, dinner later. Great show. Witty and smart. We will miss "The Judge" but she will do great work in DC.

I'm still upset that President Trump didn't appoint Fox's screech owl on helium, Jessica Tarlov, to be the American Ambassador to Pluto.

Some 110 days after the inauguration of President Donald J. Trump, and we are still unwrapping wonderful, delightful and oh so loved Christmas packages. I must echo other posters, another great and brilliant move by Trump. If they, the deep state, democrats and scummy Tom Tillis's of the world thought Ed Martin was going to be a problem hang on to your hats ladies and gentlemen. Jeanine Pirro, just like Trump has reached the pinnacle of her career, is likely financially independent, so she has no fear about doing exactly what needs to be done. She ain't buckin' for some other gig. I just can't stop smiling with this brilliant appointment. Thank you again and again, Mr. President.

I enjoyed watching The Five when it was first on the air. Then they put Juan Williams on and I stopped watching for several yrs. When Juan finally left and Judge Jeanine was added I began watching again. Without the Judge I will probably not watch. Can't bear listening to Jessica Tarlov without Judge Jeanine putting her in her place. I also enjoy Dana Perino, very smart and Greg Gutfield, very funny. I disagree with much of Harold Ford's opinions but he is very likable. Judge Jeanine is a wonderful choice for US Attorney

The DC Courts is where all the Communist Lawfare is filed so it is crucial to have someone loyal to MAGA. All the MAHA lawsuits will end up in DC. Judge Jeanine will neuter the Obama Judges simply because of her celebrity. After 120 days we have Rudi Giuliani, Mark Davis and many more.
Thom Tillis delenda est.

All things considered, Jeanine Pirro is outstanding. My only misgiving is that she's 73 years old. I hope she still has the energy she needs to perform this intense job the way she needs to--and, I am confident--she desires to. I used to hear everyone say how terrific Rudy Giuliani would be as attorney general six years ago, or as Trump's lawyer four years ago. Turns out, Rudy was past his prime, was drinking too much, and needed lots of help from junior attorneys to keep him from stumbling into legal ditches.
