‘It’s Never Enough!’: Jeanine Pirro Unleashes On Reporter Who Downplays DC Crime

U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C. Jeanine Pirro unloaded on a reporter Tuesday who attempted to downplay the rampant crime spreading throughout the nation’s capital.

The media have largely cited the Metropolitan Police Department’s (MPD) data alleging crime in Washington has dropped 35% since 2024, while the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s statistics (FBI) and other data say otherwise. A reporter attempted to stump Pirro by accusing the administration of changing its tune on violent crime, prompting Pirro to say that her “ears are deaf” to anyone who claims that “crime is down.”

“It’s never enough. This changed, this changed, it’s never enough! You tell these families crime is dropping. You tell the mother of the intern who was shot going out for McDonalds near the Washington Convention Center, ‘oh, crime is down,’” Pirro said. “You tell the kid who was just beat to hell and back with a severe concussion and a broken nose, ‘crime is down.’ No, that falls on deaf ears and my ears are deaf to that and that’s why I fight the fight.”

Trump deployed the National Guard and federally took over the MPD on Monday to “reestablish law and order and safety” in the district. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday that 850 officers and agents made 23 arrests for crimes such as homicide, firearm offenses, stalking, possession with the intent to distribute narcotics, along with other heinous crimes on the first night of Trump’s crackdown.
