Aug. 3 (UPI) -- The Senate has confirmed former Fox News TV host and Donald Trump supporter Jeanine Pirro as the top U.S. federal prosecutor.
Pirro, a former New York state district attorney and county judge, was confirmed along party lines 50-45 Saturday. She was among a host of staunch Trump backers who claimed the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Trump due to fraudulent voting. There was no evidence to support that claim.
Pirro said in a statement that she was "blessed" to have been confirmed by lawmakers and said in a statement to "get ready for a real crime fighter."
Pirro used her platform as a host of the Fox New "Justice with Jeanine" host to purvey a baseless conspiracy theory that the election was stolen from Trump, and later became co-host of the Fox show "The Five."
