New Measure Would Oust District Attorneys
A bill introduced by Chairman Jenkins seeks to centralize legal power in the Department of Justice. It would authorize the Attorney General, the solicitor general, and assistants to begin and conduct prosecutions in any court, district, or quasi judicial body, removing reliance on district attorneys. The move faces Congressional criticism and would shift prosecution authority toward federal officials, with the President directing actions.
