Senate confirms former Fox News host Pirro as top federal prosecutor for the nation's capital

WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate has confirmed former Fox News host Jeanine Pirro as the top federal prosecutor for the nations capital, filling the post after President Donald Trump withdrew his controversial first pick, conservative activist Ed Martin Jr.
Pirro, a former county prosecutor and elected judge, was confirmed 50-45. Before becoming the acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia in May, she co-hosted the Fox News show The Five on weekday evenings, where she frequently interviewed Trump.
Trump yanked Martins nomination after a key Republican senator said he could not support him due to Martins outspoken support for rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Martin now serves as the Justice Departments pardon attorney.
In 2021, voting technology company Smartmatic USA sued Fox News, Pirro and others for spreading false claims that the company helped steal the 2020 presidential election from Trump. The companys libel suit, filed in a New York state court, sought $2.7 billion from the defendants.
