In a move that has thrilled the conservative base and sent the D.C. Swamp into a tailspin, President Donald J. Trump announced Thursday that he is appointing no-nonsense Fox News firebrand Judge Jeanine Pirro as Interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. The decision comes after establishment Senate Republicans — often derided as RINOs — sabotaged Trump’s effort to confirm former interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin, a proven fighter against government corruption.
Unfazed by the political sabotage, President Trump took to Truth Social with a quintessential Trump pivot: “I am pleased to announce that Judge Jeanine Pirro will be appointed Interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia.” And just like that, a new sheriff is coming to town — one with a record of toughness, legal acumen, and zero tolerance for political games.
Pirro, a former Westchester County District Attorney and county judge in New York, has long been a stalwart voice for law and order. She was the first woman elected to both of those roles in her jurisdiction and made national headlines for her trailblazing work in prosecuting domestic violence, founding the first Domestic Violence Bureau in the country.
“Jeanine is incredibly well qualified for this position,” President Trump wrote. “She is considered one of the Top District Attorneys in the History of the State of New York. She is in a class by herself.”
Conservatives know Pirro best from her time as the unapologetic host of *Justice with Judge Jeanine* and as a fiery co-host on Fox News Channel’s *The Five*, where she regularly squares off against liberal pundits like Jessica Tarlov. Now, she’s taking her grit and resolve into the heart of Biden’s weaponized justice system: Washington, D.C.
Let’s not kid ourselves — this isn’t just about a personnel change. It’s a strategic counterpunch from Trump in a city plagued by two-tiered justice. With Democrats weaponizing the Department of Justice against conservatives, and RINOs aiding and abetting the left’s lawfare tactics, Trump’s appointment of Pirro signals he’s not backing down. He’s deploying someone who won’t blink at political pressure and who understands that justice doesn’t come from media headlines — it comes from applying the law without fear or favor.
While some social media critics voiced concern about Pirro’s celebrity status, others recognized the genius behind Trump’s move. One commenter put it bluntly: “He should just rotate his nomination between her and Martin every 120 days. According to Google, there’s no limit on how many times you can nominate a person for this position.”
It’s classic Trump — using the system’s own rules to fight the establishment that rigged it. And Judge Jeanine? She’s the perfect weapon.
America needs fighters — not bureaucrats. In Judge Jeanine Pirro, the D.C. Swamp is about to meet a no-nonsense conservative with the courtroom experience, the media savvy, and most importantly, the spine to clean house.
The message from Trump is clear: the days of weak-kneed “go along to get along” Republicans are over. It’s time to take the fight to the Swamp — and Judge Jeanine is leading the charge.
