President Donald Trump on Wednesday held a swearing-in ceremony for Jeanine Pirro, who was tapped to serve as interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.

“Over five decades, Jeanine Pirro, known by millions as ‘Judge Jeanine’ has devoted her life to the pursuit of justice, the defense of freedom, and the fair, equal, and impartial rule of law,” Trump said while introducing Pirro in the Oval Office.

President Trump spoke highly of Pirro’s legal track record, saying, “She went after real criminals, not fake criminals like we seem to do nowadays.”

“So Jeanine Pirro, I have no doubt, will be an exceptional U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, one of the truly most important positions in our country,” Trump added.

“My voice should be heard loud and clear. No more tolerance of hatred. No more mercy for criminals,” Pirro said when she spoke briefly from the podium to the room full of reporters.
