President Donald Trump says he is naming Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, a former county prosecutor and elected judge, to be the top federal prosecutor for the nation’s capital after abandoning his first pick for the job.

President Donald Trump said he is appointing Fox News host and ex-prosecutor Jeanine Pirro as interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia.

Live" alum Cecily Strong returned to the show to play Jeanine Pirro, Trump's pick as interim top prosecutor in DC.

Johnson’s Trump called “Pirro” a “great legal mind,” adding that she had the “most important quality I look for in a lawyer — she’s on TV.”
