WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. - Five years ago, on the first day of her husband's tax evasion trial, Jeanine Pirro heard prosecutors claim that he had illegally deducted their luxury cars, the costs of fighting a paternity suit, even the custom-made pen for their pet pigs, Wilbur and Orville.

"There's not any part of my life that's not in that indictment," Pirro complained as she strode out of federal court.

On Monday, the Westchester district attorney likely signed up for more of the same kind of attention when she announced she would seek the Republican nomination to run against Hillary Rodham Clinton for the U.S. Senate.

"Jeanine is going to be judged on her own merits," said Michael Edelman, a Republican commentator and a friend of the Pirros. "The people of New York are sophisticated enough to make a distinction between Jeanine and whatever Al may have done in the past. Besides, it would backfire. Hillary's husband has been impeached. I don't think she's in any position to bring up husbands."
