Former Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, known for her staunch loyalty to Donald Trump, has been nominated as the interim federal prosecutor for Washington D.C.

This appointment follows the controversial appointment of another former Fox News personality, Pete Hegseth, as defense secretary. Pirro's nomination, the 23rd former Fox employee appointed by Trump, highlights the close ties between the Trump administration and Fox News.
