US Attorney Jeanine Pirro backs Trump's DC takeover threat and demand for lower prosecution age limit: ‘Stop coddling!'
US Attorney Jeanine Pirro said in an interview Wednesday that she supports President Trump's threat to federalize Washington, DC, if local officials don't crack down on youth crime – arguing that juvenile delinquents are 'coddled' in cities run by Democrats. Pirro, the top prosecutor in the nation's capital, fumed that she's not allowed to charge minors accused of violent crimes and backed Trump's push to lower the age of legal accountability to as young as 14, in an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham. 3 Pirro noted that youth crime is on the rise in DC and fumed that she is unable to prosecute most minor offenders. AP 'I support him totally,' Pirro said of Trump's warning Tuesday that he would bring the District of Columbia under federal control if laws aren't changed to prosecute minors as adults. 'If that's what we need to do to get it done, that's what he should do. And I support the president.' 'He's the only one coming here saying, 'I want to make [DC] safe and beautiful.' I haven't heard anyone say that besides him,' Pirro added. During her appearance on 'The Ingraham Angle,' the former Fox News host and New York district attorney noted that she spoke to Trump on Tuesday – when he issued the takeover threat – and explained the situation in DC. 'I said, if you're 14, 15, 16, or 17-years-old, you get coddled, as you do in most American Democrat cities, so I can't charge these people,' Pirro explained. The US attorney went on to describe the early Sunday morning assault of former DOGE employee Edward Coristine, who was beaten up by as many as 10 assailants during an attempted carjacking just a mile from the White House, and how her hands are tied in that situation as well. 'This young kid who worked at the White House was beaten to a pulp … by a gang of punks,' Pirro said of the attack on the 19-year-old tech whiz nicknamed 'Big Balls.' 3 Trump threatened to federalize Washington, DC, Tuesday after a former DOGE employee was beaten up by teenagers during a carjacking attempt in the nation's capital.

'None of them come to my office because they're not considered criminals,' Pirro railed. 'They go to family court, where the effort is rehabilitation.' 'The DC Council – and the president is right – they've got to stop their coddling,' the top prosecutor demanded. 'We've got to lower the age of responsibility to 14.' 'If you think that these kids need to be coddled and they need to be hugged – they need to have consequences. They need to understand that enough is enough,' Pirro continued. 'If you tell me I can't prosecute a 17-year-old for carjacking, then you don't know what you're talking about, because the truth is that if you don't give me that power, and you want to send them to some arts and craft program, then you're out of your mind.'

Fox News Politics Newsletter: Mamdani's 'Radical Positions' Alarm New Yorkers, Says Expert
Welcome to the Fox News Politics newsletter, with the latest updates on the Trump administration, Capitol Hill and more Fox News politics content.

"I think what scares a lot of New Yorkers about the policy positions taken by Zohran Mamdani over the years is that he has exhibited not just a lack of appreciation for the men and women that stand on that [police] line, but a visceral disdain for them, which has led him to push for things like defunding and dismantling the police," Rafael A. Mangual, senior fellow and head of research for policing and public safety at the Manhattan Institute, told Fox News Digital, shortly after a gunman killed four people in midtown Manhattan, including a NYPD police officer. "It's not so much as just that he said, well, I wanna allocate some of this money to other places. He has gone so far as to say that we should dismantle the entire department."…READ MORE.
