U.S. Attorney Andrew M. Luger steps down, marking the end of his tenure in Minnesota
St. Paul: So, Andrew M. Luger, the U.S. Attorney for Minnesota, just announced he’s resigning. He’s stepping down this week, and he’s had quite the run. He said it’s been an honor to serve the American people.
Luger was appointed by President Biden back in March 2022, making him the 37th U.S. attorney for the District of Minnesota. But this isn’t his first rodeo; he also served under President Obama from 2014 to 2017.
In his statement, Luger expressed gratitude for leading the office again. He mentioned focusing on violent crime and working with law enforcement to bring criminals to justice. He’s especially proud of the efforts against child predators.
With his resignation expected after Trump’s election, Lisa D. Kirkpatrick, the first assistant U.S. attorney, will step in as the acting U.S. attorney. It’s a big change for the office and the community.
