WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senators John Hoeven and Kevin Cramer today announced the Trump administration nominated Nicholas W. Chase to serve as United States Attorney for the District of North Dakota. Earlier this year, the senators recommended that President Trump nominate Chase for the position. Currently, Chase serves as a North Dakota District Court Judge for the East Central Judicial District appointed by Governor Doug Burgum. He previously served for 20 years in the U.S. Attorney's office for the District of North Dakota, including as Acting U.S. Attorney and First Assistant U.S. Attorney. A North Dakota native, Chase has also worked in private practice and as a federal judicial law clerk.

"We appreciate the Trump administration nominating Nick to be the U.S. Attorney for North Dakota, and will work to advance his confirmation as quickly as possible. Nick has dedicated his career to public service and the pursuit of justice in North Dakota and has a proven record of building cooperation among federal, state, tribal, and local law enforcement agencies. From dismantling drug smuggling networks to prosecuting major fraud and trafficking cases, Nick has built a reputation rooted in integrity and a deep commitment to public safety. We look forward to working with him in this position to help make communities across our state safer and more secure," said Senators Hoeven and Cramer.
