Damian Williams Resigns as U.S. Attorney for SDNY, Jay Clayton Nominated
Nov 25, 2024, 04:51 PM
Damian Williams, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, has announced his intention to resign effective December 13, 2024, ahead of the incoming Trump administration. Williams has been a prominent figure in prosecuting high-profile cases, including those involving Senator Bob Menendez, New York City Mayor Eric Adams, and music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs. His resignation will leave the leadership of the office, known as the 'sheriff of Wall Street,' to President-elect Donald Trump's nominee, former SEC Chair Jay Clayton. Edward Kim, the current deputy, will serve as acting U.S. Attorney until Clayton takes over.
