White House has aides go on Pirro’s show every week knowing Trump watches: report

The White House communications staff regularly sends officials to appear on Fox News host Jeanine Pirro’s show because they know President Trump will watch, The Washington Post reported Thursday.

Pirro’s Saturday night show, “Justice with Judge Jeanine,” is a favorite of Trump’s, and he tunes in or records the program every week.

The aides also appear on the show to stop Trump from calling in, according to The Post.

“Someone has to be on the show every week,” one official told the newspaper.

Aides also said that Pirro and Trump talk regularly, including about special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russia’s election interference and his frustrations with Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

The staffers added that they sometimes schedule officials to discuss policies on Fox News shows because Trump “will listen more when it is on TV.”

Pirro often uses her show to praise and defend Trump. She is also working on a book about Trump’s presidency and interviewed both Trump and chief of staff John Kelly for it, according to the Post.

Trump regularly watches Fox News and often tweets about segments that air on the channel.
