President Joe Biden is building his leadership team at the Department of Justice. On Monday, the White House announced eight nominees for U.S. attorney positions across the country.

Among those selected is Matthew Graves, who, if confirmed, would take over the ongoing Capitol riot investigation run out of the U.S. attorney’s office in the District of Columbia.

Like Biden’s picks for the federal bench, his first wave of U.S. attorney choices reflect a commitment to diversity. The Associated Press provides more details:

Rachael Rollins, the district attorney in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, would be the first Black woman to serve as U.S. attorney in that state. Erek Barron, a former federal prosecutor and policy advisor to Biden and a current state lawmaker, would be the first Black U.S. attorney in the District of Maryland, the White House said.

Other nominees include Zachary Myers, who specializes in national security and cyber matters as a federal prosecutor in Maryland and who the White House says would be the first Black U.S. attorney in the Southern District of Indiana; and Clifford Johnson, who would be the first Black lawyer to lead the Northern District of Indiana after spending nearly 35 years in that office.

“These individuals — many of whom are historic firsts — were chosen for their devotion to enforcing the law, their professionalism, their experience and credentials in this field, their dedication to pursuing equal justice for all, and their commitment to the independence of the Department of Justice,” the White House said in a statement.

In February, Biden’s DOJ announced that they were seeking the resignations of most U.S. attorneys appointed during President Donald Trump’s tenure. There are 93 U.S. attorneys in the U.S – most are recommended by a home state senator.
