Jeanine Pirro was sworn in as the interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia in a ceremony held in the Oval Office on May 28, 2025. The swearing-in was conducted by President Donald Trump, who praised Pirro's career and emphasized her commitment to upholding justice and restoring law and order in Washington, D.C. Pirro, a former judge, prosecutor, and longtime Fox News host, was appointed to replace Ed Martin. During the event, Pirro vowed to make the District of Columbia "a shining city on a hill" and to end what was described as the politicization of the U.S. Attorney's office under the previous administration. Supporters highlighted that the prior officeholder, Matthew Graves, had allegedly used the position against political opponents of the Biden administration. Pirro's appointment has drawn attention as her initial actions in office reportedly caused concern among entrenched interests often referred to as the "Deep State."
