Attorney General Sessions Delivers Remarks Announcing New Memo on Nationwide Injunctions
Kansas City, MO ~ Thursday, September 13, 2018
…
We have clear goals at the Department. From day one I plainly stated our goals are to reduce crime, reduce homicides, reduce prescriptions, and to reduce overdose deaths.
Today I want to talk about a few of the steps that we are taking with you to do that.
First, we are sending in reinforcements.
We have a saying in my office that a new AUSA is 'the coin of the realm.' When we can eliminate wasteful spending, one of my first questions to my staff is how we can deploy more prosecutors to where they are needed.
I have personally worked to re-purpose existing funds to support this critical mission.
We are hiring more than 300 new federal prosecutors—AUSAs—all across America.
That includes nine in Missouri and four in this office. This is the largest surge in prosecutors in decades.
