In a bold move that has already rattled the swamp, Judge Jeanine Pirro was sworn in on May 28 as the Interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia — and she wasted no time making it clear that soft-on-crime days in D.C. are officially over.
Standing alongside President Donald J. Trump in the Oval Office, Pirro took the oath administered by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi in a historic moment that marks a serious pivot back toward law and order in a city that has become a national embarrassment for unchecked violence and chaos.
“My voice should be heard loud and clear,” Pirro declared after taking the oath. “No more. No more tolerance of hatred. No more mercy for criminals.”
That’s a breath of fresh air in a capital plagued by spiraling crime, rampant looting, and revolving-door justice. With progressive prosecutors looking the other way while thugs run wild, Pirro’s appointment signals a new sheriff in town — and she’s not playing games.
In front of a crowd of Trump administration officials and supporters, Pirro promised that the days of criminals thumbing their noses at the justice system are over. “Violence will be addressed directly with the appropriate punishment,” she said, delivering a message that must have sent a chill down the spine of every repeat offender coddled by leftist policies.
Judge Jeanine also pointed to the bigger picture — restoring Washington, D.C., not just as the seat of government, but as a shining symbol of American greatness. “This city will again become a shining city on a hill in an America that President Trump has promised to make great again and will make safe again.”
It’s a far cry from the crime-infested mess the city has become under Democrat rule — a place where businesses are shuttering, families fear walking the streets, and prosecutors seem more concerned about “equity” than enforcing the law.
Pirro, a former Westchester County District Attorney and County Judge, is no stranger to taking on hardened criminals. As President Trump reminded the nation when he announced her appointment earlier this month, she was the first woman elected as DA in Westchester County, founded the first domestic violence bureau in the nation, and has been a relentless voice for victims.
“Incredibly well qualified” and “in a class by herself,” President Trump praised Pirro, noting her legal career and her work as host of the hard-hitting Fox News show Justice with Judge Jeanine . “She is considered one of the top district attorneys in the history of the State of New York.”
Now she brings that same no-nonsense grit to Washington, D.C. — a city in desperate need of accountability, order, and fearless leadership.
In an era when far too many in power bend the knee to lawlessness, Judge Jeanine Pirro is standing tall. And as Trump’s handpicked enforcer of justice in the nation’s capital, her mission is simple: bring back safety, restore dignity, and make criminals fear the law once again.
