BB elevates Prosecutor from Brooklyn [HRC] [AOC] to serve as #2 in DOJ
Washington — Attorney General William Barr has elevated a former top federal prosecutor in Brooklyn to help oversee day-to-day operations at the Justice Department as the No. 2 official in the deputy attorney general's office, senior department officials said Monday.
Seth DuCharme, currently a counselor to Barr, is the former chief of the criminal division in the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Eastern District of New York. He worked closely on some of the most high profile federal cases of the last decade, including investigations into Huawei, Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, the 1MDB money laundering scandal and numerous terrorism cases.
He will be taking over as principal associate deputy attorney general, a position similar to his role in the U.S. attorney's office, which he held until earlier this year.
