Jeanine Pirro confirmed as U.S. attorney for D.C.

The Senate confirmed Jeanine Pirro as the U.S. attorney for Washington D.C. on Saturday during a rare weekend session. Pirro, who was a New York judge and prosecutor and former Fox News host, was one of the many Trump nominees still on the docket to be confirmed by the upper chamber of Congress ahead of the scheduled August recess. She was confirmed by a 50-45 vote along party lines to the role, which she held on an interim basis since May.
