President Donald Trump on Thursday hired yet another Fox News host for a key role in his administration as he named Jeanine Pirro interim U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C.
And even his most frequent critics were left stunned by the move.
Pirro, a former county prosecutor and elected judge, has for the last two decades spent far more time on TV than in any courtroom.
However, she has been an unwaveringly loyal voice for Trump on the air and helped advance his false claims about the 2020 election.
Trump’s critics reacted:
Pirro is the 23rd former Fox employee Trump has named to his administration.
She's wildly unqualified to be DC's top prosecutor and was been described by her former executive producer as a "reckless lunatic."
Gonna thread some of her lowlights. https://t.co/z7wjcFw4VQ
Perhaps this is all a clever plan by Trump to put Fox News out of business by hiring away all of their hosts. https://t.co/vnIYAjX90S
