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 Fox News hosts named in the Dominion Voting Systems v.
