“New York City couldn’t be prouder with the nomination of Loretta E. Lynch to be our country’s new U.S. Attorney General. As U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, Loretta has proven herself to be a fighter for justice, unafraid to tackle corruption or crack down on cybercrime. Loretta Lynch is an outstanding public servant and I look forward to working with her and the Obama Administration on smart policies that will protect and ensure the rights of all Americans.”
