U.S. Attorney Richard Donoghue of the Eastern District of New York will remain in his position as the head of the Brooklyn office, his office announced Thursday.

Like his counterpart across the East River, Donoghue has not been nominated by President Donald Trump, nor confirmed by the U.S. Senate, after being appointed to his position by U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions in January. This left a 120-day clock ticking on his appointment, at which point it fell to the Eastern District court to decide if it wanted to exercise its statutory power to decide on who should lead the prosecutors’ office.
