Trump Taps Jay Clayton for U.S. Attorney in Manhattan Amid Controversy
Update: 2024-11-15
Description
President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Jay Clayton, a former SEC chairman with no criminal prosecution experience, to lead the powerful U.S. Attorney's Office in Manhattan. The appointment raises concerns about Clayton’s ability to maintain SDNY's independence, especially after Trump’s previous attempt to install him in the role. Clayton would inherit a high-profile caseload, including investigations into Mayor Eric Adams and other prominent figures, while also leading an office that once investigated Trump himself.
