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.

“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.”

Two of Coristine’s alleged attackers – a 15-year-old boy and 15-year-old girl, both from Maryland – have been arrested by DC police. 

“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.”
