I really appreciated the Anacostia Coordinating Council inviting me back to discuss recent prosecutions for crimes of violence and firearms offenses in Wards 7 and 8 that will result in hundreds of years of incarceration for individuals driving violence in these Wards.

I really appreciate DOJ’s Fraud Section including in their annual training panel on Diversity & Inclusion within the profession and the Department. My co-panelists were amazing, and it was a great conversation.
