Jeanine Pirro

The FBI, along with U.S.

Attorney Pirro and all of our prosecutors, have worked tirelessly for months, sifting through evidence that had been sitting at the FBI with the Biden administration for four long years.

Let me be clear, there was no new tip, there was no new witness, just good, diligent police work and prosecutorial work, working as a team, along with ATF, Capitol Police, Metropolitan Police Department,

and, of course, the FBI.

We are working every day to restore the public's trust.

We hope that today is a significant step towards that progress.

We'll share more information when we can and when it unfolds.

I cannot stress enough how hard Director Patel and Deputy Director Bongino have worked for months

to make our nation's capitals safer and to make our country safer.

I'd like to introduce now Director Patel.

You keep hearing the words partnership and team, and that's what we are.

And we could not do this without our U.S.

Attorney, Jeanine Pirro.

Jeanine, from day one, has worked tirelessly for our country and for our nation's capital.

It's my honor to introduce my friend, U.S.

Attorney Jeanine Pirro.

Thank you.

President Trump's directive to all of us was to not only make America safe again, but D.C., and to make it safe and beautiful.

We could not have done that without our partnership with Mayor Bowser and Chief Smith.

It is my honor to introduce Metropolitan Police Department Chief Smith.
