- Jeanine Pirro out as D.C. U.S. Attorney by December 31?18¢18 %
Jeanine Pirro has served as the confirmed U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia since August 2025 following her Senate confirmation on a 50-45 party-line vote after an interim appointment in May 2025. As a presidential appointee, her tenure depends on administration priorities and performance in the office overseeing federal prosecutions in the capital. Recent developments include an August 2026 dispute with President Trump over the voluntary dismissal of charges in a Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool vandalism case, which drew public criticism that her position could be at risk. In late October 2026, a federal judge dismissed a complaint against two former FBI officials in a Hunter Biden-related false statements case, citing procedural errors and an unsigned overnight filing from her office that defense attorneys challenged as bad-faith. These setbacks in high-profile matters coincide with continued announcements of drug trafficking, cyber fraud, and gun cases by her office. No confirmation or resignation has occurred as of early November 2026.
