John Rogers spent years secretly funneling sensitive Federal Reserve information to Chinese spies, then looked investigators in the eye and lied about it. And when that wasn’t enough, he lied again under oath at trial. Federal Reserve employees entrusted with America’s most sensitive economic information cannot sell out their country and their colleagues for personal gain and then expect to hide behind a single word.

This defendant put American sailors’ and Coast Guardsmen’s lives at risk while attempting to evade U.S. sanctions and move illicit oil. By refusing lawful orders from the U.S. Coast Guard and leading them on a chase across the Atlantic Ocean, he not only obstructed federal law enforcement, but forced our service members to carry out a dangerous boarding operation in heavy seas. Today’s guilty plea makes clear that those who endanger American service members and attempt to undermine our sanctions laws will be held fully accountable.

The violent crew that ambushed two young men in D.C. has been held to account. Two pled guilty, and the trial defendant, Orlin Lemus-Cruz, now faces decades in prison, which is where he belongs. We are cleaning up the District, making it safe, and it is working!

Today, a major win for justice. The D.C. Circuit ruled that Abu Khatallah's 28-year sentence for his role in the 2012 Benghazi attack was too lenient and sent the case back for resentencing. This decision affirms that sentences must reflect the seriousness of terrorism offenses and ensures greater accountability for those who attack Americans. Another important victory for my office and for the pursuit of justice.

When you have consequences for crime, the numbers go down dramatically—as we are seeing in the District with historic drops in homicides and carjackings. To keep driving these numbers down, D.C. must lower the age of accountability. We need to hold juvenile offenders accountable early—saving them from a future of serious crime and even longer prison sentences.

Today, we are releasing video already provided to U.S. District Court showing Cole Allen shoot a U.S. Secret Service officer during his attempt to assassinate the President at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. There is no evidence the shooting was the result of friendly fire. The video also shows Allen casing the area in the Hilton Hotel the day before the attack. My office along with the FBI will continue this extensive investigation to bring Cole Allen to justice.

King’s theft of thousands of government phones was a brazen betrayal of the public trust that drained taxpayers of more than a million dollars. He then squandered the stolen money on gambling, luxury vacations, and a high‑end vehicle. He will now be required to repay the very funds he siphoned from the American taxpayer and serve a prison sentence for his crimes.

Members of Congress, cabinet officials, the heads of federal law enforcement agencies, churches, journalists — Thomasz Szabo and his followers targeted them all with swatting calls and fake bomb threats designed to send armed police to their doors. This administration will not tolerate attacks on the institutions and individuals who serve this country. Szabo was extradited from Romania to face justice in an American courtroom, and today he has reaped the consequences of his actions.

Victor Blythe spent years hiding behind his credentials as a psychotherapist to gain the trust of vulnerable children, all while secretly collecting and trading the most exploitative images imaginable. He didn't just collect thousands of images of children being sexually abused; he encouraged others to exploit children. No sentence can undo the harm he caused, but this one ensures he is held accountable. We will continue to pursue anyone who preys on children with every tool we have.

After months of renovations ordered by President Trump to prepare our capital for America’s 250th anniversary—including the restoration of more than 50 parks, 48 monuments, and 22 fountains—these deliberate acts of destruction set back real progress and violate the law. Vandalism at treasured places like the Reflecting Pool is an affront to our shared history and the dignity of our national heritage. These monuments belong to all of us, and we will protect them—and hold accountable those who seek to deface or diminish them.

My predecessor declined to prosecute 66% of cases; thanks to President Trump and the federal law enforcement enhancement, we are now prosecuting all but 4%. This is key to making D.C. safe—putting criminals behind bars and protecting the people of the District.
