Former Fox News host Jeanine Pirro moved one step closer to becoming the permanent U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia after the Senate Judiciary Committee approved her nomination Thursday in a redo vote triggered by a Democratic walkout last week.

Pirro, who is currently serving in the role on an acting basis, was reported out of the Republican-led committee by a 12-10 party-line vote. She and several other Trump administration picks for U.S. attorney roles were intended to advance on July 17, but the vote was later deemed invalid due to the absence of a quorum caused by Democrats staging a protest over another nominee.
