Pirro emphasized the seriousness of the crime, stating that “Threatening the life of the President is one of the most serious crimes and one that will be met with swift and unwavering prosecution.

At the center of President Donald Trump’s takeover of Washington, D.C.’s policing stands a familiar face: Jeanine Pirro.

Once a regular fixture on “The Five,” Pirro is now wielding federal power as the U.S. attorney for D.C., tasked with turning Trump’s promise of “Liberation Day” into reality.

In her words, “the first order of government is the protection of its people,” and she intends to make D.C. that shining city on a hill once again.

“[President Trump] wants to make D.C. safe and beautiful and part of my appointment here by the president was to follow through on that initiative, and the federalization of the Metropolitan PD is something that I think is a great thing and the agenda is very clear,” she shared on “My View with Lara Trump” over the weekend.

“We want to make D.C. safe again.”

Pirro defended Trump’s measure, stressing that it protects citizens’ rights rather than eroding them — a direct rebuttal to critics on the left.

She pointed to juvenile crime as a major pillar of reform, arguing that too many serious offenses are shuffled into family courts.

In her words, the current system of rehabilitation, including “yoga” and “ice cream socials,” simply “isn’t cutting it” when violent teens are walking free.

“If I have a 17-year-old who shoots someone with a gun, but he doesn’t kill that person, I cannot… prosecute them, investigate them. It goes to the family court. The mission there is rehabilitation… and that just isn’t cutting it with me or anyone else who’s a law enforcement professional,” she said.
