President Trump once again tapped into his pool of allies from Fox News on Thursday, selecting “The Five” co-host Jeanine Pirro to take on the role of interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.
“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,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “She is in a class by herself.”
“Congratulations Jeanine!”
Earlier in the day, Trump withdrew the nomination of Ed Martin for the same role after key Republican senators raised concerns and declined to back his appointment.
“He’s a terrific person, and he wasn’t getting the support from people that I thought,” Trump said of Martin, whose time as acting U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C., was scheduled to conclude on May 20.
“I can only lift that little phone so many times in a day, but we have somebody else that will be great,” he added.
