May 27, 2025 The Honorable Jeanine Pirro Interim United States Attorney District of Columbia Judiciary Center 555 4th Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20001 Dear Interim United States Attorney Pirro, Congratulations on your recent appointment as Interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia. We are grateful for your work and look forward to working with you to defend the rule of law and the sanctity of human life in Washington, D.C. In 2022, pro-life activists in Washington, D.C., discovered possible violations of the Partial-Birth Abortion Act and the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act. Being vigilant citizens, they alerted the D.C. police.

Tragically, rather than investigate the incident properly, the Biden Administration worked to sweep the allegations under the rug and silence the individuals involved by prosecuting them. President Biden’s Department of Justice allegedly ordered the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department to incinerate the evidence. Thankfully, Members of Congress took shrewd steps to protect the evidence through preservation of evidence requests. We, as leaders of the Pro-Life Movement, respectfully ask that you conduct a proper investigation into the suspected violations of the Partial-Birth Abortion Act and the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act in connection with the D.C. Five.

As the Interim United States Attorney for Washington, D.C., it is your responsibility to follow the facts where they may lead and enforce federal law to protect those most vulnerable in our nation’s capital: the unborn. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Paul Teller Marjorie Dannenfelser Executive Vice President President Advancing American Freedom Susan B.
