Il Senato conferma Jeanine Pirro come procuratore degli Stati Uniti per il distretto di Columbia

The U.S. Senate confirmed Jeanine Pirro as the Attorney General for the District of Columbia. With 12 votes still pending, Senator Thune urged senators to remain in the chamber to speed up the remaining confirmations. Former President Trump praised Republican senators and Thune for advancing his nominations, accusing Democrats of delaying the process. Pirro was nominated after the original candidate, Edward Martin, failed to secure Senate support. She faced less opposition despite past controversies surrounding a pardon Trump granted to her former husband.
