The Attorney General serves as the chief law enforcement officer for the entire Nation, and it is important for that person to have the right prosecutorial and management experience for the job. Ms. Lynch is an experienced prosecutor, and if confirmed, she will make history as the first African-American woman to lead the Department of Justice. “As the body that considers the President’s nominee, the Senate has an important role in this debate, and that process begins in the Judiciary Committee. I have spoken with the President about the need to confirm our next attorney general in a reasonable time period, and I look forward to beginning that process.” # # # # # Press Contact Press Contact David Carle: 202-224-3693 Next Article Previous Article	1	2026-03-30T12:14:52Z	2026-03-30T12:14:52Z
