Senate Judiciary Advances Nominees, Duels over Epstein
WASHINGTON, D.C., JUL 24 – The Senate Judiciary Committee advanced Jeanine Pirro's nomination with a 12-10 party-line vote amid protests and partisan disputes over her past and refusal to answer written questions.
- On July 24, 2025, the Senate Judiciary Committee advanced Pirro’s nomination, voting 12-10 along party lines.
- After Ed Martin’s withdrawal, President Trump appointed Pirro as interim U.S. attorney in May.
- During the hearing, protesters were removed by Capitol Police, and one shouted at Pirro, according to Taylor Reidy.
- Democrats criticized Pirro for refusing to answer written questions and noted her spreading of false election claims that led to a $787 million settlement, with Sen. Alex Padilla denouncing her prior downplaying of the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot.
- The nomination now moves to the full Senate for confirmation, expected to pass unless four Republicans dissent, amid procedural skirmishes over Epstein files.
