Pirro was elected as a judge of the Westchester County (New York) Court in 1990. In 1993, she was elected to the position of Westchester County district attorney.

She has authored seven books, including Liars, Leakers, and Liberals: The Case Against the Anti-Trump Conspiracy (2018).

She was also a frequent contributor to NBC News, including regular appearances on The Today Show.

Pirro was named as a defendant in a February 2021 defamation lawsuit by Smartmatic. She was among the hosts named in the Dominion Voting Systems v. Fox News Network defamation lawsuit for broadcasting false statements about the plaintiff company's voting machines.
