WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators John Hoeven and Kevin Cramer today announced that the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee has approved the nomination of Nicholas W. Chase to serve as United States Attorney for the District of North Dakota. The senators recommended that President Trump nominate Chase to the position and have been working to secure his confirmation. Chase’s nomination now moves to the full Senate for consideration.

“Nick Chase has the right background and experience to serve as the U.S. Attorney for North Dakota,” said Senators Hoeven and Cramer. “He’s tried cases ranging from trafficking and child exploitation to narcotics to fraud and money laundering, helping to make our state safer and more secure. We appreciate the Senate Judiciary Committee for approving his nomination and will continue working to secure his confirmation by the full Senate.”

Currently, Chase serves as a North Dakota District Court Judge for the East Central Judicial District, having been appointed by Governor Doug Burgum. He previously served for 20 years in the U.S. Attorney’s office for the District of North Dakota, including as Acting U.S. Attorney and First Assistant U.S. Attorney. A North Dakota native, Chase has worked in private practice and as a federal judicial law clerk.
