Acting Attorney GeneralTodd Blanche made one thing clear — President Donald Trump can fire U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro if he wants.

At a Department of Justice media conference Wednesday, Blanche was asked about Pirro dropping the charges in the Reflecting Pool Vandalism case and Trump’s subsequent response.

Pirro, the former Fox News host, cited a lack of evidence for dropping the charges. Trump said earlier in the week Pirro “choked” and “folded like an umbrella” in dropping the charges. The president claims to have evidence to back up moving forward with charges.

“You’ve declined to say whether you stand by Jeanine Pirro’s decision to drop that case. I’m just — what message does it send, though, if President Trump fires a U.S. Attorney because she determined there was not sufficient evidence to charge four people with a crime? Did he fire her? What message would it send?” a reporter asked Blanche during a DOJ presser.

Blanche Says Trump ‘Allowed’ to Ax Pirro If He Wants — IJR

“Hypothetically, if the president chose to fire a United States attorney, it turns out he’s allowed to do that because he’s the president of the United States,” Blanche replied. “And, by the way, if President Trump wanted to fire anybody within his administration, he understands he has the power to do that. So when he makes a decision about whether to fire a U.S. attorney or anybody else, that’s his call.”

Blanche, who previously served as Trump’s personal attorney, continued.

“As far as any message — what I said earlier, Alex, is true, which is that when you look at the D.C. U.S. Attorney’s Office’s body of work over the past year and a half, and where we are in this city compared to where we were, they are doing a phenomenal job. Now, does that mean that every case goes exactly the way that President Trump, or I, or U.S. Attorney Pirro wants?

I mean, of course not — it doesn’t,” Blanche said.

“So I think that what you’ve seen play out in the press with respect to President Trump and U.S. Attorney Pirro is… it’s all out there already, but I don’t think that that changes the fact that her prosecutors, her office, what they’ve done over the past year to transform the city into a place that we can all now walk around in after sunset, is something that’s incredible. So I don’t think they’re inconsistent with each other,” he added.
