What happened
President Donald Trump hosted the swearing-in of Jeanine Pirro as interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia at the White House on May 28, 2025, carried on the White House channel. “Today, we’re honored to swear in Jeanine Pirro, somebody I’ve known for a long time, and she’s an incredible person and incredible woman, as our new interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, that’s a big deal,” he said, recounting her career as he presented it: assistant district attorney in Westchester County from 1975, founder of one of the country’s first domestic violence bureaus, the first female judge in Westchester County history in 1990, and then the county’s elected District Attorney, where she “established one of the nation’s most successful cybercrime units to combat online child abuse,” as he stated the record.
“Jeanine Pirro, I have no doubt, will be an exceptional U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, one of the truly most important positions in our country, where she will restore public safety in our nation’s capital, break up vicious street gangs and criminal networks, and ensure equal justice under the law,” the President said. Attorney General Pam Bondi then administered the oath of office, which Pirro took on camera.
Why it matters
This ceremony installs the President’s chosen prosecutor for the capital with the mission stated by the President himself — public safety, gang and network prosecutions, equal justice — and the Attorney General personally swearing her in.
Scoreboard candidate
Scoreboard candidate: the May 28, 2025 swearing-in of Jeanine Pirro as interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia and the public-safety mission the President assigned her on camera — flagged for the scoreboard editors; the entry itself remains review-gated.
