Jeanine Pirro took the oath of office to serve as the interim U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C., during an event in the Oval Office on Wednesday.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi administered the oath alongside President Donald Trump. Pirro is serving as the interim U.S. attorney following the resignation of Ed Martin, Trump’s initial pick to serve in the role.
Pirro remarked on the recent murder of two Israeli embassy staffers on the streets of Washington during her address. She vowed justice would be brought to the “cold-blooded murderer” who was responsible.
Pirro served as the assistant district attorney and district attorney in New York’s Westchester County and became the first woman to serve as a judge in Westchester County Court.
She joined Fox News Channel in 2006 and hosted “Justice with Judge Jeanine” for 11 years before joining “The Five,” which has emerged as the most-watched show on cable news.
