If confirmed by the U.S. Senate, Damian Williams would become the first Black man to oversee the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York.

U.S. Attorney's Office in Manhattan via ReutersPresident Joe Biden on Tuesday nominated veteran prosecutor Damian Williams to be the U.S. attorney for Manhattan, which would put him in charge of one of the most high-profile federal prosecutor offices in the country.

The U.S. Attorney's Office in Manhattan handles many of the country's most complex prosecutions of Wall Street executives. Its cases range from insider trading and securities fraud, to corruption and terrorism cases. The office is also prosecuting British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, charged with helping financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein groom teenage girls for sex.Before Williams' current post, he prosecuted former New York state Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver for bribery and extortion and also prosecuted the case against former U.S. Representative Christopher Collins for insider trading and lying to the FBI.

voteblue8888 Congratulations Mr. Williams . Give'em Hell and charge'em rent 😎

I’m pretty sure he wants to be known and evaluated by his work and not his race.

Media racist more concerned about his character and if he does a good job for the taxpayer.

When everything is a “first”, you’ll find that nobody really cares anymore.

👏👏👏👏👏👏 Change needs and has to happen in order for this country to be better. This country is suppose to lead by example.. But these 4 years has really told the truth on this country.. Everything that is done in the dark, will come to the light. And it is still coming out
