In Jeanine Pirro’s own words, her job at Fox News was to push President Donald Trump’s narrative — no matter the cost.
A trove of newly unredacted court documents, first reported by The Washington Post, reveals the lengths Pirro, now the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, went to in order to bolster Trump’s election claims while she was still one of the Fox’s most prominent hosts.
“It’s Jeanine P. Got a former CIA chief of station who knows [about] development of Dominion,” Pirro texted Trump attorney Sidney Powell on Nov. 10, 2020, referring to the voting technology company falsely accused by Fox hosts of rigging the election.
“Keep fighting,” the former Justice with Judge Jeanine host added.
Fox would go on to settle a defamation lawsuit with Dominion for a staggering $787.
