The U.S. Senate confirmed former Fox News star and longtime Trump ally Jeanine \u201cJudge Jeanine\u201d Pirro as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.<\/p>\n

It can be recalled that President Trump appointed Pirro<\/a> to the position following Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC)\u2019s derailment of Ed Martin\u2019s Senate confirmation in May.<\/p>\n

Tillis, who voted to confirm Biden\u2019s radical pick for Attorney General Merrick Garland, told reporters that he opposes the nomination of Ed Martin for DC US Attorney for political reasons.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

He said he would have supported Martin for any district except the District of Columbia.<\/p>\n

President Trump described her as \u201cone of the\u00a0Top District Attorneys in the History of the State of New York.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Trump:<\/strong>\u00a0Jeanine Pirro, I have no doubt, will be an exceptional US Attorney for the District of Columbia, one of the truly most important positions in our country of any position, where she will restore public safety in our nation\u2019s capital, break up vicious street gangs and criminal networks, and ensure equal justice under the law. You\u2019ll see very, very big improvements in the DC area, that I can promise you.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

On Saturday evening, the U.S. Senate confirmed Jeanine Pirro as the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia with a razor\u2011thin 50\u201345 vote.<\/p>\n

More from CBS<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

The Senate on Saturday approved the nomination of\u00a0Jeanine Pirro<\/a><\/span>, an ardent loyalist of President Trump and a Fox News fixture, confirming the cable news personality to a top prosecutor post in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

Pirro, a former county prosecutor and elected judge, was confirmed in a 50-45 vote. She has been in the job as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia on an acting basis since May. Before then, she co-hosted \u201cThe Five\u201d on Fox News on weekday evenings, where she frequently interviewed Mr. Trump.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia is a powerful position with a huge staff, budget and portfolio. Her confirmation came days after the Senate approved the nomination of\u00a0Emil Bove<\/a><\/span>, Mr. Trump\u2019s former defense lawyer, to serve on a U.S. appeals court.<\/p>\n

Majority Leader John Thune said the\u00a0Senate<\/a><\/span>\u00a0will adjourn until Sept. 2 once they finish with the round of votes scheduled for Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

\u201cI ask unanimous consent that when the Senate completes its business today, it adjourns to then convene for pro forma session only,\u201d Thune said.<\/p>\n

Senators have 12 votes remaining following Pirro\u2019s confirmation, which is why Thune asked for senators to stay in the chamber to expedite votes. There was no objection.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Pirro\u2019s elevation comes amid intense uproar from Senate Democrats and the far-left legal establishment.<\/p>\n

They had vociferously attacked her as an election\u2011denier, citing her role in amplifying the \u201cBig Lie,\u201d and filed smears accusing her of being an unelected partisan operative in the nation\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n

Maryland Congressman Jamie Raskin even wrote Senate leadership<\/a> calling her \u201ca partisan instrument of the Donald Trump administration,\u201d urging outright rejection of her nomination.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI write with grave concern about President Trump\u2019s nomination of Jeanine Pirro to lead the United States Attorney\u2019s Office for the District of Columbia. Over the past decade, Ms. Pirro has consistently demonstrated that her loyalty lies with Donald Trump the person, not with the Constitution or the rule of law.<\/p>\n

Her blind loyalty to Trump, her embarrassing support for the \u2018big lie\u2019 that the 2020 election was rigged in the face of all evidence to the contrary and 60 federal and state court decisions rejecting such claims, her unswerving defense of convicted January 6th rioters, and her incendiary rhetoric urging President Trump to seek retribution against his alleged enemies all make clear that she lacks the intellectual honesty, personal temperament, integrity and fundamental constitutional fidelity required to lead this important office.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
