President Joe Biden has tapped two Black attorneys to serve as U.S. Attorneys for New York’s Southern and Eastern districts and nominated a female prosecutor to be the next U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of New York.
If the U.S. Senate confirms Biden’s nomination of Damian Williams, chief of the securities and commodities fraud task force for the Manhattan-based U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Southern District of New York, it would be the first time a Black attorney has held the position.
