Jeanine Pirro Steps Into Spotlight with Response to Murders of Israeli Embassy Staffers
- Jeanine Pirro, newly appointed as Washington, DC’s top federal prosecutor, was quickly tasked with leading the inquiry into the killing of two employees from the Israeli embassy near the city’s Jewish museum in mid-May 2025.
- Her urgent duty followed the shooting of a young couple, Sarah Milgrim, 26, and Yaron Lischinsky, 30, by Elias Rodriguez, with Pirro's response closely watched as her first public role in government.
- Pirro quickly assumed command of the case, visited the crime scene with Attorney General Pam Bondi, and earned respect within the Justice Department for her measured leadership despite visible shock.
- Authorities are exploring the possibility of charging Rodriguez with offenses related to hate crimes or terrorism. He has yet to enter a plea and faces the potential of the death penalty, which would result in a complicated and extended trial process in the predominantly progressive city of Washington, DC.
- Pirro's three decades of crime-fighting experience guide her as she pursues justice amid political pressure, with colleagues cautiously optimistic about her handling of this sensitive, high-profile case.
