Overview

• President Trump sent Pirro’s nomination to the Senate on June 17 for a four-year term as the top federal prosecutor in Washington, DC.
• The Senate will require her to disclose every past media appearance, encompassing hundreds of hours of TV and radio commentary.
• Pirro was serving as interim U.S. Attorney after Ed Martin’s nomination was withdrawn amid GOP objections last month.
• CNN’s KFile review found she promoted false claims on abortion, voter fraud and downplayed January 6 prosecutions.
• Critics warn her record of calling to prosecute Trump’s perceived political enemies risks politicizing the Justice Department.
