President Joe Biden on July 26 nominated eight prosecutors to become U.S. attorneys, including one who would handle cases stemming from the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol breach.
Biden nominated Matthew Graves, a partner at Washington law firm DLA Piper, to be the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. Graves, an assistant U.S. attorney during the Obama administration and a law clerk for U.S. District Judge Richard Roberts, would oversee the prosecution of Jan. 6 cases if confirmed by the Senate.
