When Nadia left the U.S. attorney's office, she co founded a law firm, crossed the courtroom aisle and worked as a defense attorney and on civil rights cases, further demonstrating her commitment to fairness for all and the rule of law. Hers is a historic appointment, the first woman of color to ever hold this role. I am immensely grateful to Nadia for returning to public service and I look forward to ushering in a new era of public excellence. Together, I will close with this. (03:30–03:36)
