YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In President Trump’s continued push for greater control over Washington, D.C., he’s relying more on his close friend and former Fox News host, Jeanine Pirro. She’s the new U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, and as William Brangham reports, she brings her outspoken, controversial style to one of the top law enforcement jobs in the nation's capital.
