Well lookie lookie - Trump seeks to oust U.S. Attorney Damian Williams

https://www.nydailynews.com/2024/11/14/trump-replacing-us-attorney-damian-williams-ny-manhattan-southern-district-jay-clayton/

President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday said that he wants to replace Damian Williams, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, with Jay Clayton, his former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The proposed change, which Trump announced in a Truth Social post, comes as Williams is overseeing several high-profile prosecutions — including the public corruption case against Mayor Adams, the sex trafficking case against Sean “Diddy” Combs and the campaign finance case against former Lt. Gov Brian Benjamin.

“Jay is a highly respected business leader, counsel, and public servant,” Trump wrote of his former SEC chairman from 2017 to 2020, now a senior advisor and attorney at high-powered Manhattan law firm Sullivan & Cromwell.

“Jay is going to be a strong Fighter for the Truth.”
