She was forced to drop the Powell probe. A grand jury declined to indict the lawmakers, part of her record that includes other <span><u>failures to get indictments<\/u><\/span>. There have been <span><u>rebukes<\/u><\/span> from federal judges about charging decisions and the abrupt <span><u>dropping of charges<\/u><\/span> involving alleged assaults on federal officers.<\/p><p>Pirro in January touted a \u201chuge downturn in the crime statistics in just a short period of time\u201d and said the safety of D.C. residents remains her office\u2019s top priority. Her office, in a brief statement Thursday, said there were double-digit drops in violent gun crimes, homicides and robberies in the District on her watch, reductions that \u201crepresent meaningful progress in the areas that most directly impact community safety.\u201d<\/p><p>Property crime in Washington, D.C., is down so far in 2026, according to Metropolitan Police Department <span><u>statistics<\/u><\/span>. Yet the District has seen a sharp spike in violent physical assaults involving a dangerous weapon, and as a result, violent crime is up this year<b>, <\/b>MPD data shows.<\/p><p>Her 14 months in office hasn\u2019t been enough time to assess her record for the whole office by the numbers. There are too many cases still ongoing, and Justice Department data only captures the early days of her time there. There\u2019s another blind spot too: Her office stopped releasing <span><u>monthly reports<\/u><\/span> about its local cases at the start of the second Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p>Pirro\u2019s office said Thursday it has charged 68% more cases than the previous year in D.C. Superior Court.<\/p><p>Pirro\u2019s relentless enforcement of Trump\u2019s political agenda has exhausted many assistant U.S. attorneys, led to errant prosecutions, and fueled doubt among judges and jurors in Washington that her office can be trusted to bring worthy cases, several former Justice Department officials said.<\/p><p>\u201cIn terms of faith and public trust in the justice system, it\u2019s causing damage that\u2019s going to take a long time to repair, if it can be repaired at all,\u201d said Randall Eliason, a law professor and former federal prosecutor in Washington.<\/p><p>\u201cFor a prosecutor, your credibility is everything,\u201d Eliason said. \u201cJudges are now much more willing to entertain claims of government misconduct, and that\u2019s going to be true for juries as well.\u201d<\/p><p>Pirro\u2019s office prosecutes local violent crime through the D.C. Superior Court, the District\u2019s version of a county court. Those cases included those against alleged pool vandals and the felony indictment against a former Olympian, David Hearn.<\/p><p>When asked at a press conference in early July if she charged the case harshly because Trump had called for a felony charge for what he claimed was vandalism, she defended the decision. \u201cThis is a case with tremendous evidence, and this is a case where the evidence dictates where we land,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Weeks later, she filed a  and directly contradicting the president, writing that \u201cthe damage was the result of a botched installation and not vandalism.\u201d<\/p><p>The filing sharply criticized the Interior Department for failing to turn over information showing the contractor, not Hearn, was responsible for the damage. Prosecutors said they had made dozens of requests before officials \u201cslowly started trickling\u201d the details to them. Had Interior officials been forthcoming with the information, they said, they would not have sought a grand jury indictment.<\/p><p>Trump nevertheless took Pirro to task, saying she had made a mistake in moving to drop the case. Pirro soon after met with Trump at the White House and could be seen <span><u>carrying a white box<\/u><\/span> and rolling briefcase as she crossed the grounds.<\/p><p>Paul Butler, a former federal prosecutor, said it was clear from the government\u2019s court briefs that Pirro never should have charged Hearn. The evidence was so thin, he said, that prosecutors conceded in their motion to dismiss that they never could have gotten a conviction.<\/p><p>\u201cShe ultimately did the right thing in that case by asking the court to dismiss the prosecution,\u201d he said. \u201cWe can imagine other prosecutors who would have died on the hill with Trump there, even if it meant getting the scorn of judges and juries.\u201d<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=2342\">The Pentagon Must Resume Reviewing Wind Projects, Judge Says<\/a><\/p><p>But Pirro\u2019s forceful refutation of the case may have also helped her office escape deeper scrutiny \u2014 perhaps even a bar referral for bringing a case that appeared to lack probable cause, Butler said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe defense was threatening to petition the court for the complete grand jury proceedings and perhaps she didn\u2019t want that record exposed,\u201d he said. \u201cThe D.C. federal bench has not been reticent in holding prosecutors accountable.\u201d<\/p><p>Eliason agreed that dropping the case not only helped avoid another high-profile dismissal or acquittal, but may have helped Pirro ward off a situation where the court would have had a chance to expose potential prosecutorial misconduct before the grand jury.<\/p><p>That \u201ccould be not only embarrassing but could lead to professional sanctions against her and her prosecutors,\u201d he said.<\/p><p>A spokesperson for Pirro declined to comment on questions related to the Reflecting Pool case, her conversations with Trump and criticisms of her office\u2019s casework.<\/p><p>Pirro\u2019s office is currently juggling several of the most high-profile criminal cases of the second Trump administration: <span><u>pursuing the death penalty<\/u><\/span> against the man accused of gunning down two Israeli embassy employees last year, prosecuting the man accused of <span><u>trying to attack<\/u><\/span> the White House Correspondents\u2019 Association dinner this year and charging a person accused of being the <span><u>failed pipe bomber<\/u><\/span> who\u2019d become the obsession of MAGA-world conspiracy theorists.<\/p><p>Internally, some career prosecutors who worked at the office have focused on this: At least she\u2019s not Ed Martin.<\/p>\n<p>Martin, a \u201cStop the Steal\u201d MAGA activist who defended insurrectionists, laid waste to the District\u2019s U.S. attorney\u2019s office when he fired prosecutors who worked on Jan. 6 cases \u2014 wiping out an entire class of young prosecutors who had just undergone special training and were about to take on everyday street crime cases in D.C.<\/p><p>Martin also reassigned senior attorneys as punishment, demoting Jason McCullough, a veteran prosecutor who helped secure convictions against Proud Boys leaders like Enrique Tarrio. Martin lasted less than four months and lost the job when Trump couldn\u2019t get Senate approvals.<\/p><p>But that meant Pirro inherited an office that was short on experienced staff \u2014 and facing a sudden wave of cases that came as a result of Trump\u2019s decision to flood Washington with law enforcement and National Guard troops. Pirro promptly reconfigured the ranks, re-elevating experienced prosecutors like McCullough, who was once again made a supervisor. (McCullough did not respond to a NOTUS request for comment.)<\/p><p>\u201cAt first, there was a sense that we may not love her but she kind of understood this sort of basic prosecutorial function,\u201d one former employee said. \u201cShe was trying to run a district attorney\u2019s office, and she\u2019d done that before. Some people were like, \u2018We don\u2019t hate her, actually.\u2019\u201d<\/p><p>Two sources who worked in that office told NOTUS that there were two Pirros: one trying to run the office with a sense of normalcy and another willing to do the president\u2019s bidding \u2014 to a point. A former employee said Pirro wasn\u2019t willing to resist administration pressure the way federal prosecutor Danielle Sassoon did when she resigned last year after briefly leading the Southern District of New York.<\/p><p>\u201cShe wasn\u2019t that person. \u2026 She was willing to do the White House work,\u201d the former employee said. \u201cNow she\u2019s looking at clear evidence from the Interior Department, and she\u2019s not going to perjure herself. She\u2019s willing to be a public advocate, but she doesn\u2019t want to perjure herself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her record also reflects that, compared to the last Senate-confirmed U.S. attorney to run the office, the former Fox News host spent more energy touting her office\u2019s efforts. During the Biden administration, U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves at the same point in his tenure filed 467 cases in federal court marked as \u201ccriminal\u201d and touted the office\u2019s work in 304 press releases, according to a NOTUS review of federal court dockets. Pirro has filed fewer cases (381) and issued twice as many press releases (674).<\/p><p>Pirro\u2019s approach to the job also stands in sharp contrast to her predecessor in the first Trump administration, Jessie Liu, who led the U.S. attorney\u2019s office without significant drama for more than two years and maintained the office\u2019s independence from the White House.<\/p><p>\u201cI think a lot of people, including judges, thought that she was actually pretty reasonable. She was like a typical U.S. attorney who would be appointed by a Republican president,\u201d Butler, the former prosecutor, said of Liu, who received a unanimous Senate confirmation vote in 2017.<\/p><p>When Trump swore in Pirro in May 2025, <span><u>he said he remembered<\/u><\/span> her \u201cas good as anybody I\u2019ve seen\u201d during her time as a district attorney. \u201cAnd that was a serious prosecutor, and she went after real criminals, not fake criminals like we seem to do today, nowadays, people that shouldn\u2019t be prosecuted,\u201d Trump said.<\/p><p>After Pirro\u2019s office dismissed the Hearn case, Trump <span><u>said she choked<\/u><\/span>. \u201cI was disappointed with Jeanine Pirro, really disappointed with Jeanine Pirro,\u201d Trump said. \u201cShe, uh, she folded like an umbrella, and people get away with things, and it\u2019s a disgrace.\u201d<br\/><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=2341\">Some Visa Applicants Could Pay Up to $250K in Bonds to Overcome Denials<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Reflecting Pool criminal cases pit the former Fox News host\u2019s prosecutor background against the president\u2019s preferred path.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2345,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2346","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-trump-white-house"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
