Following U.S. Senate Confirmation, David Metcalf Sworn In as United States Attorney for the Full Term of Four Years

PHILADELPHIA – David Metcalf was sworn in today to serve as United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania for the full term of four years, following the United States Senate’s October 7 confirmation of his nomination to the position.

The Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Wendy Beetlestone, administered the oath of office to Mr. Metcalf. A formal investiture ceremony will be held at a later date.

“It’s a privilege to serve the people of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and I’m honored to continue in this role with the Senate’s support,” said U.S. Attorney Metcalf. “Our office is working every day to advance the cause of justice and the rule of law.”

In March, Attorney General Pamela Bondi had named Mr. Metcalf the Interim United States Attorney for a period of 120 days. Shortly thereafter, President Trump nominated Mr. Metcalf to serve as the United States Attorney for the full term.

Upon the expiration of the 120-day interim period, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania appointed Mr. Metcalf the District’s United States Attorney, ensuring he would remain in the role while awaiting Senate confirmation.
