The Senate has confirmed Jeanine Pirro as the new US Attorney for the District of Columbia in a 78-22 vote. Pirro, a former judge and prosecutor, brings years of experience to the position and has vowed to crack down on crime in the nation's capital.

Pirro's confirmation comes after a contentious confirmation process, with some senators expressing concerns about her past controversial statements and legal decisions. However, supporters praised Pirro's tough-on-crime approach and commitment to upholding the rule of law.

In a statement following her confirmation, Pirro thanked the Senate for their support and vowed to work tirelessly to ensure that justice is served in the District of Columbia. She highlighted her plans to prioritize prosecuting violent crimes, tackling corruption, and working with other law enforcement agencies to combat terrorism.

Pirro's confirmation as DC US Attorney marks a significant victory for the Trump administration, which has made law and order a cornerstone of its agenda. With Pirro at the helm, the Department of Justice is poised to take a tough stance on crime and bring justice to the streets of Washington, D.C.
