Luger was appointed by President Joe Biden and sworn in in March 2022 as the 37th U.S. attorney for the District of Minnesota. He was previously appointed by President Barack Obama and served from 2014 until 2017.
“I have been honored to lead this office for the second time,” Luger said in a statement. “In March 2022, I set us on the path to address violent crime to meet the challenge our community faced. I am so grateful to the people of this Office and our many law enforcement partners for the work we have done to bring violent criminals to justice. We have also taken aggressive action against child predators, for which I am proud.”
Upon Luger’s resignation Wednesday, which was expected following the election of former President Donald Trump, Lisa D. Kirkpatrick, who currently serves as first assistant U.S. attorney, will become the acting U.S. attorney.
