United States District Court Appoints David Metcalf as United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania

PHILADELPHIA – The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania has appointed David Metcalf as the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. After receiving his oath of office today, and pursuant to the Vacancy Reform Act, Mr. Metcalf remains the United States Attorney indefinitely while he awaits confirmation from the United States Senate.

“I am honored that the court has extended my service to our district,” said U.S. Attorney Metcalf. “Our commitment to prosecuting criminals and upholding the rule of law does not change.”

Last March, Attorney General Pamela Bondi named Mr. Metcalf the Interim United States Attorney for a period of 120 days, and President Trump nominated Mr. Metcalf to serve as the United States Attorney for the full term of four years. Last week, the United States Senate Judiciary Committee voted to send Mr. Metcalf’s nomination to the full Senate for a confirmation vote.

Mitchell S. Goldberg, Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, swore in U.S. Attorney David Metcalf on June 30, 2025.
