Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey A. Rosen issued the following statement on the appointment of Seth DuCharme as Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General, effective December 23, 2019:
“Seth is a dedicated public servant and long-time career prosecutor of the highest caliber. From his time as Chief of the Criminal Division in the Eastern District of New York to most recently serving with distinction as Counselor to the Attorney General for criminal and national security matters, Seth’s sharp intellect, quick thinking, and excellent judgment have greatly benefitted all who have worked with him. His deep experience in areas ranging from narcotics trafficking and cybercrime to terrorism and public corruption will be an asset to the Office of the Deputy Attorney General. I look forward to Seth serving by my side at the Department of Justice.”
