The Trump administration has appointed the new federal public prosecutor in Chicago, who will work on a temporary basis starting from April 7, which led to a new leadership to an office without it permanently for two years.

Boutros will soon take matters from the American acting lawyer Maurice “Sonny” Pasqual, who has been the temporary leader of the office since the resignation of March 2023 for former American lawyer John Losh.
The details of the appointment of Botos by Joseph Fitzpatrick, a spokesman for the US Prosecutor's Office. The Ministry of Justice has not issued any additional public declaration.
Bondi's temporary appointment allows Boutros to be served for four months without confirmation from the Senate. Potos did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Friday.
Boutros is a co -chair of government investigations and the practice of white collar in Shook, hardy & back llp. He worked as a federal claimant in Chicago between 2008 and 2015, including in the Financial Crime and Special Trials Department. It is scheduled to return to the US Prosecutor's Office at a time of great concern, locally and in the Ministry of Justice on a broader scale.
Bondi appointed her in the wake of an official search for the new federal public prosecutor in Chicago, a month ago by the United States Darren Lamoud. The legislator conducted an interview with a variety of qualified candidates and sent a list of names to the White House for consideration, according to a source familiar with the operation.
However, the name of Botos was not among them, and the source said. If President Donald Trump ultimately nominates Potos to serve permanently, this will be a break with traditions.
“The northern province of Illinois plays a decisive role in combating crime and general corruption,” Laudah told a statement on Friday. “The Trump administration has quickly appointed a temporary lawyer for the United States to assist the Chicago and North Illinois people. I am sure this will deal with increased crime rates, support the enforcement of our immigration laws, combat public corruption and restore confidence in our judicial system. I look forward to continuing to work with the administration in these vital problems because they are working to fill the role of accountability in the United States permanently.
Potos's constant assertion as an American lawyer will make him choose the second consecutive Trump to work in this role. Former President Joe Biden has not confirmed his choice to lead the office, April Perry. She is now a federal judge.

In a statement late on Friday, the United States of America was martyred Dick Deepin and Tami Dackerett in the last battle over the failed Perry nomination – its confirmation was banned by Vice President JD Vance when he was a member of the Senate.
“The White House confirmed our offices that there will be no nomination for the permanent role of the American lawyer of the northern region of Illinois until the White House's advisor office with both of our Maktam
Lush served during the first period of Trump and was very appreciated in Chicago, although the Republican President was not popular here. Boutros faces similar conditions, but in more turbulent times, especially when it comes to the fate of the Ministry of Justice.
Trump's positions have already led to a high -level resignation by Ministry of Justice officials. Although there is no such drama in Chicago, many of them see Trump's choice of the American lawyer as a key for the office's future.
Potos graduated in 2001 from the Faculty of Law at the University of Virginia, where she dealt with financial crimes and drugs to a large extent while working as a federal public prosecutor, including the online drug dealer case on the Internet “Supertrips”.
Since his departure from special practice in the past decade, he defended customers or has conducted internal investigations that also deal with embezzlement, commercial theft, cryptocurrencies, bribery, flight programs, and general corruption, according to his Hardy's biography, Hardy & Pacon.
Now his function will be to direct the floors of the floors under the audit, despite some prominent victories. Many will monitor Potos to find out how to serve in the shadow of a president who expressed it from the Ministry of Justice very clear.
Indeed, Trump has declined one of the most prominent prosecutions in the history of the office by providing a complete and unconditional amnesty to the former state governor, Rod Blajific, in February.

Trump's Ministry of Justice has also identified the mayor of Chicago Brandon Johnson and three municipal heads in the city to the allegations that “schools in their cities may have failed to protect Jewish students from illegal discrimination.”
Johnson was one of four municipalities who were summoned to testify about the status of their cities in front of the US House of Representatives Committee this month as well. American MP Gary Palmer, a Republican in Alabama, accused Johnson and the heads of the municipality during that session of committing a crime and said: “I do not understand why we have not discussed the obstruction of justice.”
Mayor Brandon Johnson responds to questions during the House of Representatives concerned with supervision and government reform with mayors in the city of Haram in the Capitol Hill.
The prosecutors here secured the historical condemnation in February from the former Speaker of Parliament, Michael J. Madijan, who faces the ruling in June. However, the accusation regulations that resulted from the same investigation are complicated by the recent rulings of the US Supreme Court.
The office recently lost one of the main prosecutors in the Madijet Bhachu, who was ancient warriors for more than 20 years and served as head of the General Corruption Department and Organized Crime. He recently delivered a dramatic decrease in local criminal deposits, as he announced his search for the new American lawyer.
