President Trump has announced he has selected Judge Jeanine Pirro as the interim U.S. Attorney for D.C.

Pirro, who hosts the popular Fox News show “Justice with Judge Jeanine,” was selected as the interim U.S. Attorney for D.C. just hours after Trump pulled his nomination of Ed Martin after it was reported he did not have enough votes in the Senate to be nominated.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “I am pleased to announce that Judge Jeanine Pirro will be appointed interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia.”

He added, “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.”

Here’s what ABC News reported:

President Donald Trump announced Judge Jeanine Pirro will be appointed interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia on Truth Social on Thursday.

Pirro has hosted the Fox News show “Justice with Judge Jeanine,” and Trump noted she previously was district attorney for Westchester County, New York, and a county judge.

“During her time in office, Jeanine was a powerful crusader for victims of crime,” Trump posted. “Her establishment of the Domestic Violence Bureau in her Prosecutor’s Office was the first in the Nation. She excelled in all ways.

“Jeanine is incredibly well qualified for this position, and is considered one of the Top District Attorneys in the History of the State of New York. She is in a class by herself. Congratulations Jeanine!” he added.
