Western New York US Attorney Hochul Announces Resignation
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BUFFALO, N.Y. — Oct 6, 2016, 5:46 PM ET
U.S. Attorney William Hochul has announced his resignation as western New York's top federal prosecutor at the end of the month.
Hochul, huband of Democratic Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul, told reporters Thursday that he plans to return to private practice after nearly 30 years with the U.S. Justice Department.
"The time is right," Hochul said during news conferences at his offices in Rochester and Buffalo.
President Barack Obama nominated Hochul, then an assistant U.S. attorney in the Buffalo office, in 2009 and he took over in 2010.
He was the lead prosecutor in the high-profile Lackawanna Six case in which a group of local Yemeni-American men were convicted of providing material support to terrorists for traveling in 2001 to train with al-Qaida.
