LinkLinksOpinion Karl Racine in The Post: President Biden’s choice for U.S. attorney should reflect D.C. values By Editor On Jan 26, 2021 Last updated Jan 26, 2021 22 Share I am honored that D.C. residents have twice elected me D.C. attorney general, based in large part on my commitment to integrity, racial justice and innovative juvenile justice reform. However, because D.C. is not a state, we are denied what most other Americans have: the power to elect a local prosecutor responsible for investigating, charging and recommending sentencing for serious adult crimes. Instead, the president appoints a U.S. attorney to prosecute these local offenses. 22 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
