WASHINGTON, DC – Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) issued the following statement in response to President Donald Trump naming Sigal Chattah as the interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Nevada:
“Nevada needs a U.S. Attorney who will uphold and enforce the law fairly and equally. Sigal Chattah is an extremist who is deeply unfit for this role,” said Senator Rosen. “Chattah’s disturbing past statements promising to use any public office to go after her political opponents, as well as her well-documented history of racist remarks, conspiracy theories, and threats of violence, prove that she cannot be trusted with this important responsibility. If she’s ever nominated to a permanent Senate-confirmed position, I’ll do everything in my power to block her confirmation.”
