The US attorney’s office in Washington, DC, is hoping for a new era of relative calm as the top federal prosecutor in the nation’s capital switches from one outspoken, controversial ally of the president to another.

Justice Department officials are preparing to swear in former Fox News host Jeanine Pirro as interim U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, as her predecessor is set to hold his first news conference Tuesday afternoon, three people familiar with the matter said.

Pirro, a former host of “Justice with Judge Jeanine” on Fox News for ten years, is currently the co-host of The Five, also on Fox News.
