U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro has frequently pushed for those who commit crimes to face harsher punishments. During a visit Thursday with federal law enforcement and National Guard troops deployed in the district, with President Trump by her side, she pledged to ensure arrests lead to charges. "I am making sure we back the blue to the hilt. Every arrest you make, we're going to the longest way to make sure that we charge in those cases," Pirro told the group.
