On Monday, President-elect Donald Trump announced his selection of Joseph Nocella Jr. as his nominee for U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York. Trump highlighted Nocella’s extensive legal experience and commitment to upholding law and order.
“Judge Nocella has a strong record of bringing Law and Order to the incredible people of New York, serving as a Nassau County District Court Judge, and Family Court Judge,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
Nocella brings a wealth of experience to the role, having served in various judicial capacities over his career. As a Nassau County District Court Judge, he handled a wide range of criminal cases, demonstrating his firm stance on justice. His time as a Family Court Judge further showcased his ability to navigate complex legal issues with fairness and empathy.
Throughout his career, Nocella has earned a reputation for his dedication to public service and his deep understanding of the law. His appointment to the Eastern District of New York, which covers a significant portion of New York City, Long Island, and surrounding areas, will place him at the forefront of some of the most critical federal cases in the region.
Trump’s nomination of Nocella reflects his focus on reinforcing law and order, particularly in key jurisdictions like New York. The appointment awaits confirmation by the Senate, where Nocella’s extensive legal background and strong track record are expected to play a crucial role in the confirmation process.
