Remarks as Prepared for Delivery, "Shirley Temple Antitrust: A Fresh Take on an Old Classic"

Good afternoon – thank you for having me here. I’d like to thank New York University Law School for hosting this event and inviting me to speak about our approach to merger enforcement. And I’d like to particularly thank my good friend Bill Rinner for helping organize today’s event. I have learned so much from Bill — in life and in antitrust. Your continued success in life is certain precisely because of the person you choose to be, in good times and in bad. We miss you at the Division.

Good morning, my name is Colin McDonald, Assistant Attorney General for the National Fraud Enforcement Division at the Department of Justice.

Thank you all for attending this important event to share the United States’ efforts to combat illegal cross-border trade of timber and wood products. This is a priority of the Trump Administration, vital to our nation’s national and economic security and that of our global trading partners. 

Thank you for all for the opportunity to be here. And thank you to the entire Environmental and Natural Resources Division staff for bringing together key stakeholders to collaborate on and discuss an important priority of President Trump’s Administration.

Thank you. My name is Tysen Duva and I am the Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice. The Criminal Division is proud to partner with U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro and our law enforcement agency colleagues here today in announcing actions by the Scam Center Strike Force, which is part of the Homeland Security Task Force National Coordination Center – all developed based on President Trump’s Executive Order.

Good afternoon — and thank you for inviting me to the town that Moe Greene invented as a stopover for GIs on their way to the West Coast: Las Vegas.[1]

Thank you for inviting me to speak at the 2025 Chatham House Competition Policy Conference. I regret not being able to join you in person today, but I am delighted to speak to you virtually and will leave time for questions at the end of my remarks.

Thanks so much for the kind introduction and the warm welcome. It is an honor to be here at Drake Law School with you all. I would like to thank the Federalist Society for hosting me. I spoke at Ohio State Law School earlier this year and Fed Soc hosted me there too.[1] The young people I met at the Ohio Law School Fed Soc reminded me of my former colleagues in the Vance Senate office as well as the amazing Gen Z administration appointees I got to know during the Trump-Vance transition last year. Yours is a generation forged by a financial crisis, a pandemic, and a new geopolitical world order. Older lawyers like me have much to learn from you, so long as we are willing to listen to you.

I’m pleased to speak with this audience of dedicated professionals coming together to share ideas about improving the health care industry and stamping out fraud and abuse.
