Senate Republicans Give Trump Another Big Win

One of the more well-known candidates on the calendar, Jeanine Pirro, Trump’s choice to be the top prosecutor in Washington, D.C., was confirmed by the Senate. Among the more than 150 awaiting confirmations was the former Fox News anchor, judge, and prosecutor from New York.

Negotiations to forward a larger slate of nominations broke down just hours before the Senate left town, and Pirro was approved.

Only seven of Trump’s selections were confirmed by lawmakers before they left for the rest of August.
