Friend,

Donald Trump has nominated Jeanine Pirro to be the U.S. Attorney for the
District of Columbia – and the Senate Judiciary Committee is preparing to
vote this week on her nomination.

This is one of the most critical prosecutorial posts in the country. The
D.C. U.S. Attorney’s Office handled the most high-profile January 6th
prosecutions, including against the Proud Boys and other violent
extremists.

But Pirro has made a name for herself by undermining those prosecutions
and attacking the very people who carried them out.

❌ She called January 6th defendants “hostages.”
❌ She claimed they were jailed “based upon their political beliefs.”
❌ She even endorsed criminal investigations into the DOJ prosecutors who
secured convictions – including staff in the office she now leads.

Jeanine Pirro has spent years using her media platform to promote
conspiracy theories, attack DOJ prosecutors, and excuse the January 6th
attack on the U.S. Capitol. She amplified false claims about the 2020
election, defended Trump’s sweeping pardons for rioters, and dismissed the
violence on January 6th as a partisan “narrative.” That’s not the record
of someone who should be trusted to lead the most politically sensitive
prosecutions in the country.

She defended Enrique Tarrio – the Proud Boys leader sentenced to 22 years
in prison for seditious conspiracy – by dismissing his conviction because
he wasn’t physically present at the Capitol. But she ignored the fact that
Tarrio was convicted for organizing and directing the attack.

And she didn’t just defend Trump’s sweeping January 6th pardons. She
actively promoted baseless claims that Dominion voting machines flipped
votes from Trump to Biden – a claim so false and inflammatory that it led
to a $787 million defamation settlement with Fox News, where Pirro hosted
a show.

Her own producer said her script was “so alarming” and “rife with
conspiracy theories and BS” that he warned executives she should never be
on live television.

[ [link removed] ]Tell the Senate: Jeanine Pirro is unfit to serve as U.S. Attorney for
D.C. >>

Republican Senator Thom Tillis – who serves on the Judiciary Committee –
said he won’t support any nominee who excused January 6th. He already
rejected Trump’s previous pick, Ed Martin, on those exact grounds. He
needs to stay true to his word.

Pirro’s public record is full of excuses for January 6th. If the Senate
applies the same standard here, they must reject her too.

We can’t let someone who undermined the rule of law direct prosecutions in
the very district where January 6th happened.
