Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, has filed a $250,000 negligence lawsuit against her hometown of Rye, New York, and Con Edison after claiming she tripped and fell while walking. The incident occurred on August 28, just weeks after she was confirmed as the Trump administration’s top prosecutor for D.C. According to the amended complaint, Pirro tripped over a large wooden block that was protruding from a steel plate covering excavation work related to gas mains. She has reported serious personal injuries, including bruises and contusions to her head, eye, face, and shoulder, alongside ongoing pain, discomfort, and limitations in movement following the fall. After the incident, the 74-year-old was confined to bed and required medical attention. Representatives for both the City of Rye and Con Edison declined to comment on the litigation, while a motion to dismiss from Rye's attorney argued that the location was not a pedestrian walkway, and Con Edison maintained that the risks were open and obvious. Pirro's background includes serving as both a judge and the district attorney for Westchester County.
