The Saturday Night team took aim at Trump's nomination for D.C. U.S. attorney and the defense secretary in the latest episode.

Live" alum Cecily Strong returned to the show to play Jeanine Pirro, Trump's pick as interim top prosecutor in DC.

In 2006, then–New York attorney general candidate Jeanine Pirro came under scrutiny for allegedly discussing plans to spy on her husband, who was reportedly having an affair. WNBC's Jonathan Dienst reports.

Johnson’s Trump called “Pirro” a “great legal mind,” adding that she had the “most important quality I look for in a lawyer — she’s on TV.”

President Donald Trump says he is naming Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, a former county prosecutor and elected judge, to be the top federal prosecutor for the nation’s capital after abandoning his first pick for the job.

Trump also noted that, in the worst-case scenario for Leo XIV, he could “send J.D. back to do his thing,” alluding to the fact that the previous Catholic leader, Pope Francis, died shortly after meeting with Vice President J.D. Vance.
