Trump loyalist Jeanine Pirro secures US Attorney for DC role; Senate confirms by 50-45 vote
The Senate has confirmed Donald Trump staunch ally Jeanine Pirro as the new US Attorney for the District of Columbia, following a contentious 50‑45 Senate vote. Pirro, a former judge and Fox News host, was tapped by US President Donald Trump after his first pick, Ed Martin, failed to gain enough support among Republicans earlier this year.
