The first North American Pope. I'm Lisa Lacerra. Fox News. History made this evening Rome time when the former Cardinal Robert Provost was elected Pope. Just a day after the conclave began, the 133 Catholic Cardinals on the fourth ballot, gave Cardinal Provost the required two-thirds vote. Pope Leo, the 14thth is the 267th successor to St. Peter, of whom Jesus said, upon this rock,

I will build my church.

The new Pope's motto, in Ilo uno unum, in the one Christ, we are won.

To the crowd, he gave his apostolic blessing, Irby and Orby.

Fox is Lauren Green in Rome. President Trump has wished the new Pope well, calling Leo's

election in honor for our country. In his last tweet, before becoming Pope, Leo criticized

Vice President Vance, a Catholic convert for seeming to rank love for your family, your neighbor,

and your community. Defense Secretary Pete Higgseth has signed a memo calling for transgender members of the military

to leave the service.

In accordance with policy now reinstated service members who have a current diagnosis

or history of or exhibit symptoms consistent with gender dysphoria may elect to separate voluntarily.

There's a timeline here and then eventually involuntarily if necessary.

Active duty would have to leave voluntarily by June 6th and reservists and members of the National

Guard by July 7th.

President Trump has announced he's appointed Fox News host, Janine Piro, as interim U.S.

attorney for the District of Columbia.

Piero was the assistant DA for Westchester County in New York and served as a county judge and district attorney.

This coming hours after Ed Martin Jr.'s name was withdrawn.

Martin's defense of rioters who breached the U.S. Capitol on January 6th cost him support, specifically from Republican Senator Tom Tillis,

a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee,

who said Tuesday he would be a no vote.

Fox's Tony J. Powers.
