“I am pleased to congratulate Loretta Lynch on her confirmation as the next Attorney General of the United States. She is an extraordinary lawyer and a distinguished public servant who is deeply committed to equal justice for all. Her tenure as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York has given her both the legal wisdom and broad experience needed to lead the Department of Justice as it confronts the challenges of our time. I join the chorus of proud New Yorkers who celebrate Attorney General Lynch’s historic confirmation as the first African-American women to serve as the nation’s top law enforcement officer.”
