Fox News' Jeanine Pirro was a controversial choice to serve as the U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C. Senate Republicans rubber-stamped her nomination anyway.

The Senate has confirmed former Fox News TV host and Donald Trump supporter Jeanine Pirro as the top U.S. federal prosecutor.

Before becoming the acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia in May, Jeanine Pirro co-hosted the Fox News show “The Five” on weekday evenings, where she frequently interviewed Trump.
