Jason R. Dunn Sworn In As United States Attorney

DENVER -- Jason R. Dunn was sworn in as the United States Attorney for the District of Colorado this morning.  Chief United States District Court Judge Marcia S. Krieger administered the oath of office at the U.S. District Courthouse in Denver during a private ceremony witnessed by close family and senior staff.  A formal investiture ceremony is being planned for a later date.

“It is an honor to lead the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado,” said U.S. Attorney Dunn.  “Prosecuting federal crime and protecting the interests of the United States in federal court is critically important work.  I look forward to working with the members of this great office to advance this mission, in collaboration with our federal, state and local law enforcement partners.”

U.S. Attorney Dunn was nominated by President Donald J. Trump on June 25, 2018, and was unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate on October 11, 2018.   He replaces Robert “Bob” Troyer, who was acting and then U.S. Attorney for the past two years.  

Prior to becoming the United States Attorney, Jason R. Dunn was a partner at Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, heading the political and regulatory law group.  Before joining Brownstein Hyatt in 2007, he served the State of Colorado as Deputy Attorney General and Assistant Solicitor General under Colorado Attorney General John Suthers.
