Trump Replaces Prosecutor Who Threatened Medical Marijuana Dispensary With Fox News Host Who Joined Cannabis Company’s Board

President Donald Trump has named a Fox News host with involvement in the cannabis industry to replace a U.S. attorney who threatened a Washington, D.C. medical marijuana dispensary with potential federal prosecution.

After the president pulled Ed Martin from consideration for the role, he announced on Thursday that he’s nominating Jeanine Pirro to assume the position on an acting basis. Despite her involvement in a CBD company, she’s previously indicated that she doesn’t necessarily support broader recreational marijuana legalization, however.

It was announced in 2019 that Pirro, host of “Justice with Judge Jeanine,” would become a board member of the CBD company HeavenlyRx.

This could be welcome news for cannabis advocates and stakeholders, as the prior nominee—whom Trump still spoke glowingly about after non-marijuana-related controversies derailed his nomination—made headlines after warning a D.C. medical cannabis dispensary about potential violations of federal law.
