New US Attorney Jeanine Pirro Announces Major Arrest

Jeanine Pirro was recently sworn in as interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia and has quickly made headlines by announcing a series of high-profile arrests, convictions, and sentencing decisions. These include felony murder, kidnapping, and firearm possession cases, as well as the conviction of Taylor Taranto, a Washington state man who livestreamed threats involving a fake bomb plot targeting a federal facility. Taranto was found guilty on all charges, including illegal weapons possession and spreading hoaxes.

Pirro’s office also announced long prison sentences for two men involved in an April 2024 drive-by shooting near a D.C. elementary school. The sentencing came on Pirro’s first day in office. The interim role lasts 120 days unless the president nominates her permanently and the Senate confirms.

While crime has dropped in D.C. this year—robberies, homicides, and assaults are all down double digits—Pirro has vowed to “clean up” the city. Former President Trump has praised her appointment, emphasizing law and order. The White House has not indicated whether Pirro will be nominated permanently.
