President Donald Trump announced Thursday he’s appointing Fox News host and former prosecutor Jeanine Pirro the interim US attorney for Washington, DC, after his first pick faced what appeared to be insurmountable pushback from Republicans on Capitol Hill.

Pirro, a former host of “Justice with Judge Jeanine” on Fox News for ten years, is currently the co-host of The Five, also on Fox News.

Trump conceded to reporters that his previous nomination for the post, Ed Martin, "wasn’t getting the support from people that I thought.”
