Pirro, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, told reporters on Monday that she planned to go after the parents of teenagers who commit crimes in the capital after footage of people brawling at a local Chipotle went viral over the weekend.

But her tough-on-crime talk hit a snag after a reporter asked her about the DOJ’s new “anti-weaponization fund” that could compensate the rioters prosecuted for attacking the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

“I just want to see if you think, at all, that any taxpayer money ... from the anti-weaponization fund, do you think that taxpayer money is going to other people who rioted in the city?” an unidentified reporter asked Pirro.

Pirro claimed to be unaware of the settlement.

In fact, she turned to a colleague and whispered, “What weaponization?” before replying, “I don’t know anything about this.”

“You always ask these out-of-my-lane questions,” she chided the reporter.

Whether Pirro was actually familiar with the settlement is unknown, but she clearly didn’t want to talk about it, just like elected Republicans when HuffPost asked them about it last week.

The reporter explained that the fund was the result of Trump settling his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS and Treasury Department, which he accused of failing to prevent the leak of his tax information to news outlets.

The settlement could put taxpayer money in the pockets of the more than 1,500 people charged for crimes related to Jan. 6, all of whom were subsequently pardoned by the president.
