It’s official. Defense attroney and former former federal prosecutor Paul J. Fishman is the new U.S. Attorney for New Jersey.
The U.S. Senate confirmed his appointment Thursday night, the Newark Star-Ledger reported.
Fishman, 52, will replace Ralph J. Marra, who has been acting U.S. Attorney since Chris Christie stepped down to run for governor, the paper reported.
“I’m delighted, and I’m looking forward to going to work,” Fishman told the Star-Ledger. “I am very grateful to Sen. (Frank) Lautenberg and Sen. (Robert) Menendez for their confidence and their support.”
