Donald Trump has nominated Fox News host Jeanine Pirro to be U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia – one of the most sensitive and consequential prosecutorial roles in the country.
Pirro has repeatedly excused the January 6th attack, defended Trump’s pardons of convicted rioters, and attacked the DOJ prosecutors who brought those cases – including staff in the very office she now leads. She’s called January 6th defendants “hostages,” promoted conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, and spread dangerous lies that were cited in Dominion’s $787 million defamation case against Fox News.
The office of the US Attorney for DC led the prosecution of the insurrectionists who attacked the Capitol. Pirro’s record shows she cannot be trusted to uphold the rule of law in that same district.
