Jeanine Pirro took over as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia in May, discovering a chaotic office with 150 lawyer vacancies. Her predecessor, Ed Martin Jr., had left the office in disarray, having fired and demoted staff. Pirro, a longtime friend of Trump and a Fox News personality, expressed surprise at the state of the office, describing it as neglected. She avoided commenting on Martin's controversial actions regarding January 6 rioters, indicating a desire to focus on her new responsibilities.
