Fox News commentators sure have unimpeachable credibility.
Jeanine Ferris married Albert Pirro, a lobbyist, in 1975. The couple had a son and a daughter. In 2000, Pirro’s husband was convicted of federal tax evasion and conspiracy of over $1 million,[7] which was seen as possibly hurting her legal and political career prospects.[8] The conviction was so damning to her political career that she seriously considered resigning from her position as a state D.A. and taking a more lucrative post in the private sector.[9] In the midst of her 2006 state attorney general campaign, Pirro revealed she was the subject of a federal investigation into whether she illegally taped her husband’s conversations to catch him committing adultery.[10] The couple announced they were separating in November 2007 and finalized their divorce in 2013.[11][12]
Pirro received significant political contributions from her husband’s associates—after his release from prison[13]—throughout her numerous unsuccessful attempts to hold higher office.[13] These include numerous contractors and realtors who had done business with her husband.
