Three finalists have emerged in the search for Minnesota s next U.S. attorney.
Andrew Luger, who held the job from 2014 to 2017, and former assistant federal prosecutors Surya Saxena and Lola Velazquez-Aguilu have all made the shortlist, according to sources familiar with the selection process.
The search committee is being led by Minnesota U.S. Sens. Tina Smith and Amy Klobuchar, with help from law enforcement officials and prosecutors from around the state. The chosen candidate, if confirmed by the U.S. Senate, will succeed Erica MacDonald, a Trump appointee who last month heeded the call from President Joe Biden for U.S. attorneys in almost every state to step down.
