Former President Donald Trump has named Judge Jeanine Pirro, a longtime Fox News personality and former New York prosecutor, as interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.

“I am pleased to announce that Judge Jeanine Pirro will be appointed interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia,” Trump wrote Thursday on his social media platform, Truth Social. “Jeanine is incredibly well qualified for this position, and is considered one of the Top District Attorneys in the History of the State of New York. She is in a class by herself. Congratulations Jeanine!”

Pirro has officially departed Fox News Channel, where she was a co-host on The Five and previously hosted Justice with Judge Jeanine. A rotation of Fox News contributors will temporarily fill her seat on The Five until a permanent replacement is named.

“Jeanine Pirro has been a wonderful addition to The Five over the last three years and a longtime beloved host across FOX News Media who contributed greatly to our success throughout her 14-year tenure. We wish her all the best in her new role in Washington,” FOX News Media said in a statement.

Before her television career, Pirro served as both assistant district attorney and district attorney in Westchester County, New York, and became the first woman to serve as a judge on the Westchester County Court.

Trump also used his Truth Social account to announce a new role for Ed Martin, the outgoing interim U.S. attorney in D.C. Martin will now serve at the Department of Justice as Director of the Weaponization Working Group, Associate Deputy Attorney General, and Pardon Attorney.

“In these highly important roles, Ed will make sure we finally investigate the Weaponization of our Government under the Biden Regime, and provide much needed Justice for its victims. Congratulations Ed!” Trump posted.

Trump withdrew Martin’s nomination for permanent U.S. attorney amid signs that he lacked the necessary Senate support for confirmation.

“He wasn’t getting the support from people that I thought,” Trump told reporters earlier Thursday. “He’s done a very good job. Crime is down 25% in D.C. during this period of time… I can only lift that little phone so many times of the day. But we have somebody else.”

Martin’s replacement comes just ahead of a May 20 deadline to confirm a nominee for the U.S. attorney position. If the Senate fails to act within 120 days, federal district court judges can appoint an interim U.S. attorney, per Department of Justice rules.
