WASHINGTON – Judge Nicholas Chase has been nominated by the Trump administration to be the U.S. Attorney for North Dakota according to Senators John Hoeven and Kevin Cramer.
Chase was appointed as a North Dakota District Court Judge for the East Central District by former Governor Doug Burgum in 2022. The district includes Cass, Traill and Steele counties. Chase served in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for 20 years including Acting U.S. Attorney and First Assistant U.S. Attorney.
“Nick has dedicated his career to public service and the pursuit of justice in North Dakota and has a proven record of building cooperation among federal, state, tribal, and local law enforcement agencies. From dismantling drug smuggling networks to prosecuting major fraud and trafficking cases, Nick has built a reputation rooted in integrity and a deep commitment to public safety,” Senators Hoeven and Cramer said.
Former U.S. Attorney for North Dakota Mac Schneider, a Democrat, resigned shortly after President Donald Trump took office.
