SEATTLE (AP) — A longtime federal prosecutor in Seattle is heading the U.S. attorney’s office until President Joe Biden nominates and the Senate confirms the next U.S. attorney for the Western District of Washington. The Justice Department on Monday appointed Tessa Gorman as acting U.S. attorney to replace Brian Moran, an appointee of former President Donald Trump. Gorman is a 24-year veteran of the DOJ and had been serving as Moran’s second-in-command. She has supervised some of the most high-profile cases in Seattle U.S. attorney’s office, including the prosecution of the Chinese tech giant Huawei for alleged theft of trade secrets.
