United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois

Providing an Order of Succession Within the Department of Justice

This executive order establishes a new line of succession for acting Attorney General, prioritizing four U.S. Attorneys (Southern District of New York, Arizona, Northern District of Illinois, and Hawaii) after the Attorney General, Deputy Attorney General, Associate Attorney General, and any 28 U.S.C. 508 designees become unavailable. It revokes the 2017 Trump-era succession order (EO 13787) which had listed different officials.
