Jeanine Pirro Just Took Over — And Wasted No Time Making Waves

Jeanine Pirro, once a familiar face on TV, is now the interim U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C. And on her very first day, she delivered a bold message: crime will not go unchecked.

She announced the sentencing of Rasheed Mullins and Josiah Warfield — two men behind a drive-by shooting near an elementary school. Their sentences? 90 and 100 months in federal prison, plus five years of supervision. Both pleaded guilty to assault with intent to murder while armed.

But Pirro wasn’t done. Her office also indicted 20-year-old Te’Vaughn Brown for a separate felony assault outside a baseball stadium. His trial is set for July.

Pirro’s appointment came after the previous nominee was withdrawn amid vetting concerns. Many see her as a tough prosecutor who brings decades of courtroom experience and national name recognition. Fox News, her former network, wished her well — while rumors swirl that attorney Alina Habba may replace her on TV.

Supporters hail her as a law-and-order powerhouse. Critics say the move is political. But one thing’s clear — Pirro is here, and she’s not backing down.
