OAKLAND PARK, Fla (Gambling911.com) - A long time ally of U.S. President Donald Trump appears now to be in his crosshairs.
Jeanine Pirro has served as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia since May 2025, when Trump named the former Fox News host and longtime Westchester County prosecutor to the interim post before her Senate confirmation that August, according to the Associated Press.
Her tenure has drawn scrutiny from Democratic lawmakers over her handling of January 6 cases and public statements about the office's priorities.
And now the president is expressing frustration with Pirro after she moved to drop charges against a former Olympian accused of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
Speaking at an unrelated Oval Office event, Trump ducked questions about whether he’d fire Pirro,
“Frankly, I think she choked because the judge was really vicious. Instead of going after the people that did it, the judge went after her and went after her department, and I guess she choked,” Trump said in response to a reporter’s question after he signed an executive order for military spouses. “I don’t know what the hell happened.”
After initially posting on social media over the weekend, “I disagree 100% with Jeanine Pirro,” Trump was still fuming two days later, insisting for several minutes that vandalism had marred the troubled project.
“I was disappointed with Jeanine Pirro, really disappointed,” the president said Monday. “She folded like an umbrella.”
Traders at Kalshi are giving Pirro a 60% chance of departing her role as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia by year's end.
