Jeanine Pirro Named Interim U.S. Attorney; Alina Habba Eyed as Fox News Replacement
Judge Jeanine Pirro has left Fox News’ The Five to become interim U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C., appointed by President Trump. Praised for her legal background, Pirro was hailed by Fox for her 14-year contribution.
Meanwhile, former Trump attorney Alina Habba is reportedly being considered to replace Pirro on The Five. Habba, currently serving as U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, may opt for the media role to avoid a Senate confirmation process.
Fox News says no permanent replacement has been named, with rotating hosts filling in. A White House source noted Habba’s strong personality makes her a natural fit.
The shift follows Republican Sen. Thom Tillis blocking Ed Martin’s nomination over concerns tied to the January 6 prosecutions.
