WASHINGTON — The Senate confirmed Colin McDonald on Tuesday to lead the Department of Justice’s efforts cracking down on fraud as an assistant attorney general. Fifty-two Republicans and 47 Democrats voted in favor of the nominee, who had been serving as an associate deputy attorney general at the DOJ. The “fearless” federal prosecutor will now work closely with DOJ colleagues and Vice President JD Vance, who chair’s President Trump’s fraud task force — after serving for more than a decade as an assistant US Attorney in the Southern District of California.
