Eastern District of New York U.S. Attorney’s Office Criminal Division Chief Seth DuCharme is headed to Washington, D.C., to join Attorney General William Barr’s staff, according to a memo from U.S. Attorney Richard Donoghue.

DuCharme was elevated to criminal chief in the Brooklyn federal prosecutor’s office in March 2018, shortly after Donoghue took over as U.S. attorney. A former associate at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett and veteran of the U.S. Marshals Service, DuCharme had previously served as chief of the office’s national security and cybercrime section.
