November 19, 2007

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar released the following statement after learning  that Minnesota U.S. Attorney Rachel Paulose accepted a new position at the United States Justice Department in Washington, D.C.:

“As Hennepin County prosecutor I worked closely with the Minnesota US Attorney's Office for eight years.  I have always been impressed by the dedicated prosecutors in the US Attorney's Office and I have been very concerned with the turmoil in the office over the past year.  I am pleased that the Minnesota US Attorney's Office is moving forward under new leadership.  I hope this will be the last chapter for our state when it comes to the legacy left by Alberto Gonzales.”
