United States Attorney Jay Clayton issues statement on new role

I am honored to serve as United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, working with the personnel of the U.S. Attorney’s Office, an institution known for its excellence and integrity. I express my gratitude to President Trump and Attorney General Bondi for this significant opportunity. Together with the skilled prosecutors of this Office and our law enforcement partners, I aim to protect public safety, combat fraud, especially targeting the elderly and vulnerable, uphold the integrity of our financial system, and defend our national security. Additionally, I extend my thanks to Acting United States Attorney Matthew Podolsky for his leadership and service.
