Audrey Strauss will be No. 2 federal prosecutor in Manhattan

 

The federal investigation into President Donald Trump’s business and campaign finances will fall into new hands with next month’s exit of Robert Khuzami as the number two federal prosecutor in Manhattan.

 

The probe will be overseen by Audrey Strauss, who will become second-in-command of the Southern District of New York. Strauss is no stranger to the office, after working her way into a senior position there 40 years ago and returning last year as chief counsel.

 

Strauss, 71, worked her way up in the Manhattan office starting in 1976, and served as the chief of an appeals unit and the head of the securities and commodities fraud unit. She left in 1983, working on the Independent Counsel’s staff probing the Iran Contra scandal in the later years of the Reagan administration, and as chief legal officer for Alcoa. She rejoined the Southern District in February 2018 as senior counsel to Berman.

 

“She is really a first-class lawyer, serious and careful,” said Gary Naftalis, the co-chairman of Kramer Levin in New York who has worked with and against Strauss over decades of practice in New York. “She will make sure everything is done the right way.”
