President Donald Trump on Thursday said he is appointing Jeanine Pirro — a Fox News host whose misstatements about the 2020 election were cited in two defamation lawsuits against the network — as the interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia.
Pirro, a former New York judge and district attorney, is to replace Ed Martin, Trump’s initial nominee as D.C.'s top prosecutor who has spent 15 tumultuous weeks in office. Trump, in a Truth Social post, described Pirro as “incredibly well qualified for this position.”
