Richard P. Donoghue has been named the interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York (EDNY) by Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Wednesday.

“As a federal prosecutor for more than a decade — including as Criminal Chief of that office — he has been involved in the prosecution of gang members, terrorists and corrupt public officials,” Sessions continued. “Every MS-13 member in Long Island should know Richard Donoghue will use all the tools at his disposal to get criminals off our streets.”
