Pirro Is Still in Trouble as Trump Mulls Her Future

August 6, 2026 · 6:30 am ET · Leave a Comment

“President Donald Trump isn’t the only one frustrated with his U.S. attorney for DC, Jeanine Pirro, over her handling of Reflecting Pool cases,” Semafor reports.

“Others inside the administration are raising concerns about her, Semafor is told, after a contentious Oval Office meeting in which Pirro defended her decision to drop charges against an alleged pool vandal and passed blame onto Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, one of Trump’s favorite Cabinet members.”

“Trump’s trade adviser, Peter Navarro, criticized Pirro publicly on Wednesday — and was seen as a proxy for those seeking her ouster.”

Mediaite: Todd Blanche tosses Jeanine Pirro under the bus when asked about Trump possibly firing her.
