It started as a whisper on social media — now Jeanine Pirro has slammed it shut. The Fox News host and former judge took to her platform to confirm that the Department of Justice is not investigating Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, despite a flood of viral claims suggesting otherwise.
Speaking on The Five, Pirro didn’t hold back. “Let’s be clear,” she said. “There is no active DOJ investigation into Mayor Bowser. These rumors are politically charged nonsense — and people need to stop spreading lies as facts.” Her sharp words came after a wave of right-wing posts accused Bowser of being tied to alleged corruption within D.C.’s housing and public works departments.
According to Pirro, her confirmation came directly from reliable legal insiders. “I did my homework,” she emphasized. “If there were an open federal case, we’d know about it. This is a digital witch hunt — nothing more.”
Still, the story has reignited tensions between conservatives and progressives online. Supporters of Bowser applauded Pirro for setting the record straight, calling her statement “unexpected but refreshing.” One user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “Credit where it’s due — Jeanine Pirro just defended the truth over party politics.”
But others weren’t as forgiving. Some conservative commentators accused Pirro of “covering for the establishment,” while others hinted that the story might still “evolve.” The speculation underscores just how fast misinformation can spread in an election season already boiling with distrust.
Bowser’s office also responded, issuing a brief but firm statement: “Mayor Bowser has not been contacted by the DOJ. She remains focused on serving the residents of Washington, D.C.”
Political analysts say Pirro’s intervention could signal a rare moment of bipartisan clarity — a conservative figure stepping in to tamp down false claims about a Democratic leader. “When someone like Pirro — known for her fiery takes — stops the rumor mill, it matters,” said one media expert. “It shows there are still lines between political debate and pure fabrication.”
Meanwhile, the DOJ itself has stayed silent, as it often does regarding internal matters. But within hours of Pirro’s comments, fact-checkers confirmed her statement: no ongoing investigation, no hidden probe, no secret indictment.
In today’s climate of instant outrage and online speculation, Jeanine Pirro’s words cut through the noise: “Truth isn’t partisan — it’s just the truth.”
