Overview

  • Pirro took office as interim U.S. Attorney on May 28 after President Trump withdrew Ed Martin Jr.’s nomination earlier in the month.
  • She built her public profile as a Fox News host and radio commentator known for conspiratorial rhetoric, including false claims that New York law allows doctors to kill fully born infants.
  • On her WABC radio show she agreed with guests advocating criminal charges against January 6 prosecutors and the judge overseeing President Trump’s New York trial.
  • Fact-checking outlets and multiple state investigations have repeatedly debunked her most inflammatory statements as baseless.
  • Senators continuing her confirmation hearings demand full disclosure of her media appearances to assess potential politicization of the Justice Department.
