Thank you all for being here.
We are here to talk about some successes in our expanding offensive against those who use fraudulent schemes against our senior citizens.
I want to thank Associate Deputy Attorney General Toni Bacon, who is the Department’s coordinator for elder justice; Deputy FBI Director David Bowdich , Secret Service Director Tex Alles, FTC Chairman Joseph Simons, Chief Postal Inspector Gary Barksdale, HSI Executive Associate Director Derek Benner, Attorney General Jeff Landry of Louisiana, Attorney General Doug Peterson of Nebraska, and all of our state law enforcement partners who are here today.
We are especially honored to have with us Judge William Webster and his wife Lynda. Judge Webster has served not only as a federal district judge and a circuit judge, but he is also the only American ever to lead both the CIA and the FBI.
