The two men, Rasheed Mullins, 27, and Josiah Warfield, 24, received federal prison sentences of over seven years. Mullins was sentenced to 90 months and Warfield to 100 months. Both will also serve an additional five years under supervised release. The charges stem from an April 2024 incident, and both individuals pleaded guilty to assault with intent to murder while armed.

Pirro’s office also reported the indictment of Te’Vaughn Brown, 20, in connection with a separate felony assault. The alleged incident took place before a professional baseball game in August of the previous year. His trial has been scheduled for mid-July.

The interim appointment of Pirro was publicly recognized by government officials, with statements praising her past experience and credentials. Previously known for her work as a district attorney in New York, Pirro is expected to bring a firm approach to criminal justice during her time in the role.

Her former employer, Fox News, expressed support and appreciation for her work, stating: “Jeanine Pirro has been a valued contributor for over a decade, and we wish her continued success in her new role.”

Pirro’s appointment follows the withdrawal of a previous nominee, whose confirmation was blocked due to unresolved concerns raised during the vetting process. That decision paved the way for Pirro’s temporary placement.

Meanwhile, media reports suggest that Alina Habba, a prominent attorney with public recognition, may be considered as a potential new host for the television show Pirro previously co-hosted. No final decision has been made regarding the transition.

As interim U.S. Attorney, Pirro is expected to oversee several high-profile cases and continue focusing on public safety and law enforcement issues in the capital.
