During that time, he rose through the ranks as the Chief of the Criminal Division in 2018, and he's been serving as the Interim U.S. Attorney since 2021. Prior to his time in [that] office, he served for several years here at main Justice in D.C., (and) he was also a legislative aide to both Senators Richard Shelby and Jeff Sessions. During his time as a federal prosecutor, he has tried 28 cases to final verdict and has pursued cases on a wide range of criminal conduct, including child exploitation, national security, terrorism, drug trafficking, human trafficking, and corporate fraud. Sean has devoted his entire career to public service and working on the behalf of the people of Alabama and the Southern District. Senator Tuberville and I were proud to recommend him to President Trump for this nomination, and I urge my colleagues for a yes vote. Thank you."
