Her employer, Fox News, responded quickly to the announcement.
“Jeanine Pirro has been a wonderful addition to The Five over the last three years and a longtime beloved host across FOX News Media who contributed greatly to our success throughout her 14-year tenure. We wish her all the best in her new role in Washington,” a spokesperson for the news organization said.
Thom Tillis blocked the nomination of the previous interim U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C., Ed Martin, from being confirmed.
It came after Republican Sen
The senator said he met with the nominee to alleviate some concerns, but those concerns still lingered on Tuesday when he spoke to CNN reporter Manu Raju.
“At this point, I’ve indicated to the White House I wouldn’t support his nomination,” the senator said.
The senator indicated that Martin believed that some of the people who were prosecuted for crimes related to January 6, 2021 were overcharged.
“Most of my concerns relate to Jan. 6,” he said. “I think that anybody that breached the perimeter should have been imprisoned for some period of time, whether it’s 30 days or three years is debatable but I have no tolerance for anybody who entered the building on Jan. 6 and that’s probably where most of the friction was.”
“We have to be very, very clear that what happened on Jan. 6 was wrong,” the senator said.
They made a stupid decision and they disgraced the United States by absolutely destroying the Capitol,” he said.
“Mr. Martin did a good job of explaining the one area that I think he’s probably right, that there were some people that were over-prosecuted, but there were some, 200 or 300 of them that should have never gotten a pardon,” he said. “If Mr. Martin were being put forth as a U.S. attorney for any district except the district where Jan. 6 happened, the protest happened, I’d probably support him, but not in this district.”
