A federal court has appointed Jay Clayton to continue serving as the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, as the Senate did not confirm him before his term ended.
Clayton, who previously served as the head of the Securities and Exchange Commission, has been in the position since April. The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York is one of the top prosecutor positions in the United States, as it handles high-profile cases such as those against rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs and Ghislaine Maxwell.
