Damian Williams has been nominated to head the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan. Williams would be the first Black man to run the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York.


President Biden has nominated Damian Williams as his pick to lead the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, one of the nation's most high-profile law enforcement departments.

If confirmed, Williams would be the first Black man to lead the prestigious office that covers Manhattan, the Bronx and areas north of New York City, including Westchester County.

The office has been behind several major federal cases in recent years, including the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell sex trafficking investigation and recent inquiries into the Trump Organization and associates of former President Donald Trump.

Williams, a Harvard University, University of Cambridge and Yale Law School graduate is the son of Jamaican immigrants and from Brooklyn.

He has close ties with the Justice Department in Washington. After law school, Williams clerked for U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland when Garland was a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. He also was a clerk to Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens.

1. Seems like a good choice

Maybe the reason has been published and I missed it, but I can't help but wonder why Preet Bharara hasn't been nominated to something.

We know he wouldn't hesitate to go after MF45 and the entire tRump crime family.

4. Bharara can't do that

If he were to return to the U.S. Attorney’s office, he couldn’t go after Trump because he’d be conflicted. After all, Trump fired Bharara.

5. Makes sense.

And that sucks, it's our loss.

I do like his podcasts, so I'm glad he landed on his feet and is still doing good.

6. Something else that makes sense: Supreme Court Justice Preet Bharara. 🔚

7. That would be a good nomination

except for him having to recuse from any tRump-related cases.

2. The Biden administration is making some excellent decisions on many issues.

Very happy to have voted Biden/Harris and pleased with this administration to date.

[Mr.Bill]

3. I'll be happy with anyone who

doesn't intend to spend the rest of their career invesigating Trump until they retire without bringing any indictments.

8. No shit!
