Former Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, the current United States attorney for the District of Columbia, reportedly turned down President Donald Trump's offer for a job at the FBI because she did not want to work under Director Kash Patel.

On Sunday, New York Times correspondent Glenn Thrush reported that Trump had offered Pirro the number two job at the FBI last year. Deputy Director Dan Bongino currently holds the position.

Sources told Thrush that Pirro turned down the offer "because she didn't want to work for Kash Patel, the bureau's inexperienced director."

In May, Trump named Pirro as acting U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C. after pulling Ed Martin's controversial nomination.

Martin, an organizer of Trump's Stop the Steal movement, now serves as the director of the Weaponization Working Group for the Department of Justice.
