Jeanine Pirro out as D.C. U.S. Attorney by August 31?

Jeanine Pirro, confirmed by the Senate in August 2025 as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia after an interim stint beginning in May 2025, faces mounting uncertainty following a public dispute with the Trump administration. Prosecutors under her office recently dropped charges against individuals accused of vandalism at the Reflecting Pool, citing insufficient evidence from Interior Department repairs rather than deliberate damage. This decision prompted criticism from administration officials, a heated Oval Office meeting with President Trump, and visible signs of potential transition, including Pirro leaving the White House with personal items. As a Senate-confirmed appointee, any removal would require a new nomination and confirmation process. Traders are monitoring White House statements, personnel announcements, and scheduled briefings for indications of her continued tenure amid ongoing prosecutorial decisions in the capital.
