President Trump appointed Fox News host Jeanine Pirro as the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, replacing his initial choice, Ed Martin Jr. Martin's withdrawal followed his inability to gain support, particularly from a Republican senator, due to his defense of the Capitol rioters on January 6, 2021. Pirro, known for her long-standing tenure at Fox News and her previous roles as a judge and district attorney, is another example of Trump's preference for media figures in key roles. This appointment follows a trend of appointments from Fox News to significant government positions.
Trump's decision to appoint Jeanine Pirro as the top federal prosecutor follows the withdrawal of Ed Martin's nomination after concerns about his qualifications.
Pirro, a long-time Fox News host and former district attorney, represents Trump's continued inclination to appoint media figures to significant government positions.
