The Fox-to-Trump Funnel sweeps up Jeanine Pirro of 'The Five'
Briefly

On the eve of President Trump's inauguration, Jeanine Pirro was celebrated at a party alongside Donald Trump Jr. Despite initial reluctance to join the administration, she was appointed as the acting U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C., replacing Ed Martin. Trump's announcement highlighted her prominence at Fox News, pointing out that she is the 23rd Fox figure in a high-ranking position. The trend has intensified in Trump's second term, with numerous former Fox personalities filling key roles, signifying a continued close relationship between the network and the administration.
Pirro's work for Fox was mentioned proudly by Trump, who noted that The Five, which she co-hosted, is among 'the Highest Rated Shows on Television.'
The trend of Fox News personalities transitioning to significant roles in the Trump administration is unprecedented, with more appointments in the second term than the first.
