A Trump U.S. Attorney’s Professional Misconduct Must Be Kept “Private and Confidential”

A Trump administration-appointed former U.S. attorney, John Sarcone, committed professional misconduct, but details are being kept private and confidential. The finding was made by a New York state grievance committee in response to allegations including retaliating against a newspaper for negative coverage. Sarcone was appointed to lead the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of New York despite having no prosecutorial experience.
