"Former Fox News host Jeanine Pirro has been confirmed as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia — a powerful position that comes with several additional responsibilities when compared with regional U.S. attorneys — after a contentious confirmation process.
Pirro, who had a lengthy career as a judge and prosecutor before her time in media, was one of the over 150 still outstanding nominees on the Senate’s calendar as Senate Republicans pushed through a grueling process to confirm as many nominees as possible before senators left the nation’s capital for the August recess. Senate Democrats have launched an unprecedented blockade against Trump’s nominees, leading to a historically low number of judicial confirmations by this point in a presidential term."
