Pirro’s special grand jury raises eyebrows among Trump allies

Some officials see the special grand jury move as an obvious ploy to “save her job at all costs,” as one administration official put it.

Pirro’s special grand jury raises eyebrows among Trump allies

Sources from Semafor suggest that US Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro's decision to convene a special grand jury has raised eyebrows among Trump administration officials and allies. The move appears to be a strategic attempt by Pirro to improve her standing with President Donald Trump, who had publicly criticized her for dropping charges in a Reflecting Pool vandalism case.

The special grand jury move is seen by some as a desperate attempt to "save her job at all costs," while others speculate that Trump might have already moved on from the Reflecting Pool debacle, and Pirro's job is secure despite ongoing criticism, including a recent contempt recommendation from a GOP-controlled Senate committee.
