Jay Clayton Wins Approval to Stay as Manhattan US Attorney
Jay Clayton, the interim Manhattan US Attorney, has been approved by a group of judges to remain in the position pending confirmation as a permanent prosecutor by the US Senate. This approval avoids a protracted fight over his temporary appointment. Clayton, a former Wall Street lawyer, was appointed as the interim US Attorney for the Southern District of New York in May 2020. The approval by the judges allows him to continue serving in the role until the Senate decides on his permanent confirmation. The decision ensures stability and continuity in the US Attorney's office in Manhattan, which is known for its high-profile cases and investigations.
