By our Special Correspondent

President Donald Trump has announced he would be appointing Fox News host Jeanine Pirro — a former county prosecutor and elected judge — as the chief federal prosecutor for Washington, D.C., following the withdrawal of his original nominee.

Trump said he was naming Pirro as the interim US attorney in Washington D.C., but didn't indicate whether he would nominate her for the Senate-confirmed position on a more permanent basis.
