Pirro's D.C. Office Faces Unusual Rate of Trial Losses

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, the Trump-appointed prosecutor for the District of Columbia, is facing an unprecedented wave of courtroom failures, with her office securing convictions in only a fraction of recent federal jury trials. The pattern of mistrials and acquittals has alarmed legal experts and drawn sharp criticism from President Donald Trump, particularly following the collapse of a high-profile case against an alleged MS-13 leader. The most prominent example is the prosecution of Moises Rivera-Luna and Tokiro Rodas Ramirez, accused of leading MS-13 operations and ordering murders from a Salvadoran jail cell.
