Political commentators and journalists criticized the decision, saying that Pirro is unqualified for the role.

Lawyer Tristan Snell wrote: "BREAKING: Trump to name Fox News host Jeanine Pirro as interim US Attorney for DC After Senate rejected his last pick, Ed Martin How many more TV hosts is Trump going to put in serious positions they’re unqualified for? THIS IS THE US GOVERNMENT — NOT THE CELEBRITY APPRENTICE"

Matthew Gertz, a fellow with Media Matters for America, wrote: "Pirro is the 23rd former Fox employee Trump has named to his administration. She's wildly unqualified to be DC's top prosecutor and was been described by her former executive producer as a "reckless lunatic." Gonna thread some of her lowlights."

Democratic strategist Mike Nellis wrote: "Naming Fox News host Jeanine Pirro as interim U.S. Attorney is ridiculous. That needs to be said. Trump is deeply unserious and has no interest in keeping any of us safe. Same with Hegseth. Loyalty over competence—always."

Political commentator Ron Filpkowski sarcastically said: "I’m sure Jeanine Pirro will just be working hard in the office on personnel issues and supervising big cases/investigations and won’t have time to do a bunch of Fox interviews because she will be totally focused on the job."
