WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) today announced that the Senate yesterday confirmed Matthew Graves for U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. Norton recommended Graves to President Biden.

Superior Court, and the U.S. Marshal for the U.S. District Court for D.C.

“Matthew Graves possesses all the qualities to be an exceptional U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia: experience, integrity, temperament, and intelligence,” Norton said. “He served with distinction as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, demonstrating that he has the experience and judgment to serve as an excellent U.S. Attorney for the District.”
