(NewsNation) — President Donald Trump held the swearing-in ceremony on Tuesday for Jeanine Pirro as the interim attorney for Washington, D.C.
Pirro, a former Fox News host and county prosecutor, was picked by Trump earlier this month after abandoning his first pick for the job.
'She will always be known as a great prosecutor and a great lawyer, Trump said.'
Trump tapped Pirro to temporarily lead the nation's largest U.S. Attorney's office.
'President Trump, you have remained steadfast as one of my earliest supporters and champions,' Pirro acknowledged. 'You never wavered. You were always steadfast, trustworthy, and confident.'

Pirro becomes the latest in a string of Trump appointments from Fox News, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who co-hosted 'Fox & Friends Weekend.'
'It is a larger arena, but no less an arena where we need justice, where we need to send a message that justice will be honored in the District of Columbia,' added Pirro. '
Trump also touched on a number of topics, including a new term sheet that hopefully would lead to a long-term resolution in Gaza, negotiations ongoing with Iran and agreeing to sit down with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to broker a peace deal between the two nations.

Tulsi Gabbard Flips Sides in MAGA Civil War Over Iran's Nuclear Capabilities

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has flipped her stance on Iran after President Donald Trump nuked her intelligence as 'wrong.' Gabbard told the Senate Intelligence Committee on March 25 that there was no intelligence to suggest Iran was building nuclear weapons, though the country had enriched its uranium to higher levels. Following Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's June 12 'preemptive' strike on Iran—which he justified by saying that the country has a 'secret plan' to weaponize uranium—Trump sided with Israel's countervailing position. On two separate occasions this week, Trump rebuffed Gabbard's earlier assessment of Iran's nuclear program. 'I don't care what [Gabbard] said,' Trump said aboard Air Force One. 'I think they were very close to having one.' In another comment on Wednesday, the president added that Iran was 'a few weeks' away from turning their uranium into a weapon, echoing similar sentiments shared by Netanyahu. Then on Friday, Gabbard fell in line with Trump, attacking the media for having the gall to believe what she said. 'The dishonest media is intentionally taking my testimony out of context and spreading fake news as a way to manufacture division,' Gabbard wrote to her 600K followers. 'America has intelligence that Iran is at the point that it can produce a nuclear weapon within weeks to months, if they decide to finalize the assembly.' She added, 'President Trump has been clear that can't happen, and I agree.' Gabbard included a clip of what she called her 'full testimony,' which has since racked up 8.9 million views. The world has been thrown into a state of limbo while Trump weighs a decision on whether to get the United States involved in strikes on Iran, a decision the country warned would be 'very dangerous.' In a statement read on Thursday by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Trump said he would make his decision 'within the next two weeks' based on the fact that there 'is a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future.' Reuters reported that the Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met with a group of European diplomats in Geneva on Friday for nuclear talks.
