U.S. Rep Gregory W. Meeks Statement on Loretta Lynch's Attorney General Confirmation

Statement

Date: April 23, 2015
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Judicial Branch

Congressman Gregory Meeks released the following statement on the Senate's confirmation of Loretta Lynch for Attorney General:

"The United States Senate has confirmed Loretta Lynch to be our nation's Attorney General. The length of her confirmation should not eclipse the historical significance of this day; Loretta Lynch will be our nation's first African-American woman to serve as the Attorney General of the United States. Her confirmation is a testament to her hard work and all that she has accomplished as US Attorney for the Eastern District of New York City. She has prosecuted more terrorists since 9/11--including those who plotted to bomb both the Federal Reserve Bank and New York City's subway--than anyone else in the nation. This marks the end of Eric Holder's time as Attorney General, and I thank him for his service to our nation."
