Senate Confirms Jeanine Pirro to Serve as U.S. Attorney for D.C.Elizabeth Weibel 2 Aug 2025
The United States Senate voted 50-45 to confirm former Judge Jeanine Pirro to serve as the U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C.
Pirro, who is also a former Fox News host, was previously sworn in as the interim U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C. in May.
At the beginning of May, President Donald Trump announced in a post on Truth Social that Pirro would be “appointed interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia.”
Trump highlighted how Pirro had served as the Assistant District Attorney for Westchester County, New York, and how she had also served as the County Judge and District Attorney, being the “first woman ever to be elected to those positions.”
I am pleased to announce that Judge Jeanine Pirro will be appointed interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia. Jeanine was Assistant District Attorney for Westchester County, New York, and then went on to serve as County Judge, and District Attorney, where she was the first woman ever to be elected to those positions. During her time in office, Jeanine was a powerful crusader for victims of crime. Her establishment of the Domestic Violence Bureau in her Prosecutor’s Office was the first in the Nation. She excelled in all ways. 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. Jeanine is incredibly well qualified for this position, and is considered on of the Top District Attorneys in the History of the State of New York. She is in a class by herself. Congratulations Jeanine!
