U.S. Attorney nominee Andrew Luger faces ethical quandary on Minneapolis policing investigation

Luger has been representing the city of Minneapolis in the Justice Department's pattern and practice investigation into the police

If Andrew Luger becomes Minnesota's next U.S. attorney, one of his first tasks will be to decide whether to recuse himself from the state's most high-profile federal investigation.

President Joe Biden's nominee for Minnesota's highest-ranking federal prosecutor, Luger is awaiting confirmation from the U.S. Senate to determine if he'll return to the job he held during the latter part of the Obama administration.

Since leaving in 2017, Luger has worked as a law partner for Jones Day. Until last month, Luger has played a leading role in Jones Day's work for the city of Minneapolis as it responds to the Justice Department's investigation into whether its police department has engaged in a "pattern and practice" of systemic illegal conduct.
