The Charlotte Observer reports that:
President Donald Trump [has] officially signed in Andrew Murray as the new U.S. Attorney for Western North Carolina. …
Trump’s signature makes Murray, a Republican, the top prosecutor for the Western District of North Carolina, a 32-county area with 2.9 million people. He will direct a staff of about 85, with offices in Charlotte and Asheville, that will prosecute criminal and civil cases. The job is a political appointment that traditionally coincides with the four-year term of the sitting president. …
“I look forward to the opportunity to build on my service as Mecklenburg County’s District Attorney to serve and protect communities across the entire western region of North Carolina,” Murray said in a statement released by the district attorney’s office.
