Donald Trump is reportedly eyeing Jeanine Pirro as interim US attorney for the District of Columbia
Donald Trump is eyeing Fox News host Jeanine Pirro for interim US attorney for the District of Columbia, according to ABC News. The report comes after the president told reporters during a White House press conference that he would be replacing his pick, Ed Martin.
“He is a terrific person. He wasn’t getting the support from people that I thought,” Trump said of Martin, who is currently serving as DC’s interim top prosecutor, during an Oval Office meeting on Thursday.
“I’m very disappointed in that. But I have so many different things that I’m doing now with the trade. One person, I can only lift that little phone so many times in a day. But we have somebody else that will be great,” the president added.
In the wake of Trump’s remarks, a source close to the matter revealed to ABC News that the commander-in-chief is “strongly considering” Pirro as his pick for DC attorney.
