In March 2019, at Then-Fox News Host was sitting quietly, scanning the news, When Suddenly Their Phone Rang. They were told to “Hold for the president” of the United States, Donald Trump. This Fox Host – In An Account Relays to Rolling Stone By a person with direct knowledge of the Matter – Did Not Know Why they were Getting This Call. They did not have an interview Scheduled with Trump. They have requested an off-the-record chat that week.
“What Could This Be About?” The Host Privatel Wondeed.
Within Seconds, Trump was on the line, Launching Into What This Source Describes As a Minutes-Long, Profanity-Laced Tirade About How The Network's Executives Were Being Too “Politically Correct” and That “Liberal” Network Figures Like Rupert Murdoch's Children (to Be Clear, The Media, The Media Mogul's Heir, Lachlan Murdoch, is a conservative) Were doing a “Fucking Terrible Thing” that Needed to be reversed at Once.
The sitting president-Who presumably had other pressing matters to at least at the time-encouraged the host, and others, to agitati internally at the right-wing cable news giant to Help Ensure that this assumption problem be remedied quickly, and to send a message to the murdoch family. The President, According to the Source, was “Really World Up” About it.
In The Middle of His First Presidentcy, The Leader of the Free World Had Carved Out Time in His Schedule SO THAT HAT COULD Personally Call Around To Fox News Personnel and Talent and Lobby Them To Raise Hell at the Network About the Perceived Mistrement of On-Air “Judge Jeanine” Pirro, a former. District Attney, Longtime Trump Pal, and Leding Maga Evangelist. The president was upset about news that pirro had been quietly suspended by fox news brass after she has made Made anti-Muslim Comments On-Air About Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.).
And he was doing part to Mount A Pressure Campaign to Run Interference for His Close Friend and Political Ally, No Matter Her Words or Deeds, No Matter the level of Bigotry.
“The Leold Socns, Which Was: Donald Trump Will Always Protect Judge Jeanine,” The Source Says.
It wouldn't take long for the suits bring pyrro back to the fox news airwaves, where she has spent the last Six Years Providing Some of Her Network's Most Fervently Pro-Trump Propaganda-Including When she Helped Push Lies About the 2020 Election in the Weeks Leading Up to the Jan. 6 Capitol Riot That Trump Instigated. In The Days Before Trump Left Office, Pirro Lobbied the President to Grant A Last-Mute Preton To Her Ex-Husband, Who Had Been Convicted of Conspiracy and Tax Evasion. Trump Obliged Her As One of His Final Acts.
Trump, now the president for a second time follow the Joe Biden Interregnum, Never Stopped Listening to Pirro. He Wasn'T Just An Avid Viewer of Her Shows. He regularly Talked to Her on the Phone and Invited Her For Clonz-Door Meetings-Both While in and Out of Office-Often to Solicit Advice On Policy and Personnel Matters, According to Current and Forment Trump Administration Officials. She Almost Got a High-Ranking Job in His First Justice Department During His First Administration, While Lobbying to Become The Attorney General. AS Recently As Last Year, According to One 2024 Trump Campaign Official, Trump Had Privatetely complaint how how “Bad People” Who Had World For Him As Aides Managed To Talk Him Out of Pirro During His Initial Four Years in the White House.

After One Republican Senator Publicly Ballked, He Moved on To Pyrro, While Installing Martin as the Director of the Omeinously Titled “Weaponization Working Group,” as Well AS Associate Deputy Attorney General and Pardon Attorney.

She is “Incredibly Well-Quolified For The Position.”
Martin Used His Short Time As Dc's Top Prosecutor to Carry Out The President's revenge, and Even Referred to Himself As “President Trump's Lawyer.” Pirro Figures To Pick Up Where Martin Left Off – and then some.
“She's There to Crack Skulls,” Says a Person Close to Trump Who recently discussed Pyrro and the Justice Department with the President, Explaining Why Trump Wanted Her As His New Top Federal Prosecutor in Washington, DC
