Trump names Jeanine Pirro DC attorney: On Thursday, President Trump announced that he was appointing Jeanine Pirro, currently a member of Fox News's "The Five," as interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. Pirro's qualifications include service as an assistant district attorney, county judge, and district attorney in New York. Her appointment comes after Trump withdrew Ed Martin's nomination due to reports that he would not receive the necessary Senate votes. Martin is currently the acting U.S. attorney through May 20. Trump outlined his plans for Martin in the Justice Department as the director of weaponization, associate deputy attorney general, and pardon attorney.
