- Donald Trump has appointed Jeanine Pirro as the interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, following the withdrawal of Ed Martin's nomination.

- Trump praised Pirro's credentials and her historic role as the first woman to hold various legal positions in New York, while also noting her defense of him amid political controversies.
- Pirro will be working in an office that often handles high-profile cases and has previously voiced strong opinions on political matters, including her support for Trump's unfounded election fraud claims.
"These hungry, tired, cold, defeated soldiers knew that it was their moment to stand up and fight for freedom. To many, Jan. 6 is such a moment."— Jeanine Pirro, comparing Trump's call to disrupt Congress' certification of the 2020 election results to the Revolutionary War.
