Jeanine Pirro, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, posted a video to X after discovering a “massive unmarked storage room.”
In the caption of the video, Pirro condemned the waste and vowed to “make sure some of it is returned to the taxpayers,” alongside a video revealing what is in some of the boxes.
Watch:
This week, I discovered a massive unmarked storage room with boxes full of forgotten equipment. Just because we’re in D.C. doesn’t mean the government can waste your money. I’m going to make sure some of it is returned to the taxpayers. pic.twitter.com/CdMsPKDzfO

“Here I am in front of an unnamed room, there’s nothing on the door,” she said, pointing to the plain white door behind her. “Come on in. As you can see, this isn’t a room, it is a massive, massive, basement storage facility.”
Moving over to a pile of boxes, she pulls out a knife and goes to work.
“There are at least 50 boxes here. These are publicly owned. Now I’m going to open it, “she said, tearing into the cardboard box in front of her. “And they all contain the same thing. These are lamps. When public items that are purchased with taxpayers’ dollars are no longer used, you don’t throw them away and put them in the basement, you sell them. There is a whole process to do this. And even if you only make pennies on the dollar, at least the American taxpayer gets some benefit from it.”
“But that’s not happening here in DC,” Pirro continued, moving over ot a stack of unused laptops. “There are well over 1,000 computers. Don’t let them sit here and rot, sell them. Give them away. Do something! I bet there are 2,000 computers here.”
X users reacted to the video:
I’ll take a lamp. 😬😉 @USAttyPirro 💙🇺🇸 I need one anyways and my taxes paid for that.

And we are paying for the storage of this stuff too!

Imagine all the good we could actually do in this country, and, for the world, if we weren’t perpetually being ripped off. First by being outrageously taxed then by having that stolen by its gatekeepers to enrich their buddies.

Check with Hillary and see if she still has any Bleach bit left?
I’m sure that those gov’t laptops will need a good scrubbing, before you sell them off!— Astute Actual (@AstuteActual) May 16, 2026
