‘A new era of justice begins and it begins right now’
There’s a new sheriff in town.
South Carolina Senator Jeff Sessions was officially sworn-in as US attorney general by Vice President Mike Pence Thursday in the Oval Office.
Calling him a “man of integrity” and “total, utter resolve,” President Donald Trump said Sessions’ Department of Justice would be directed to address criminal drug cartels, help reduce violent crime, and stop crimes against police.
“Today’s ceremony should be seen as a clear message to the gang members and drug dealers terrorizing innocent people,” Trump said in comments ahead of Sessions’ swearing in. “Your day is over. A new era of justice begins and it begins right now.”
