President Donald Trump on Monday tapped Justin Herdman to take over as the top prosecutor for the District of Columbia, leading the U.S. attorney's office there
President Donald Trump on Monday tapped Justin Herdman to take over as the top prosecutor for Washington, D.C., and lead the U.S. attorney's office there.
In a statement, Barr praised Herdman as a "fair prosecutor, capable litigator, and excellent manager." recommending a more lenient punishment for one of Trump’s longtime confidants Roger Stone, overruling career prosecutors and causing four of them to withdraw from the case. The reversal came after the president publicly complained about the sentence recommended by prosecutors. Barr acknowledged he personally intervened in the case, but denied he did so at the president's direction.
