President Donald Trump is nominating a veteran prosecutor to serve as U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Louisiana.
The White House announced Brandon Fremin's nomination on Wednesday. Fremin currently serves as director of the criminal division of the office of Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry.
Fremin previously served as an investigator and prosecutor for the East Baton Rouge Parish district attorney's office. He also was a federal prosecutor in the Baton Rouge-based Middle District.
Corey Amundson has served as the acting U.S. attorney since Walt Green's resignation earlier this year. Green was one of several dozen U.S. attorneys who were ordered to resign in March.
Fremin served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1994 to 2002. He received his law degree from Louisiana State University.
